After Class, American Kitsch

Today in class we learned about American Kitsch and how it meant bad taste. This movement was referred as an outsider act and many people rejected American Kitsch. Futuristic styles influenced this movement which then produced dramatic curves and lines. We can see American Kitsch today in stores such as Urban Outfitters, commercials such as Target, movies such as Juno, and we can see American Kitsch in flea markets and thrift stores. The McDonald's golden arches show American Kitsch design in architecture with the curvy rooflines.

One question that I is why do so many people reject this form of art? I personally like it just because it looks so cool and is very appealing to my eye.
