Kitsch (English pronunciation: /ˈkɪtʃ/, loanword from German) is a form of art that is considered an inferior, tasteless copy of an extant style of art or a worthless imitation of art of recognized value.
In the modern era, throwing paint at a canvas, or putting a crucifix in urine is "Art".
Paintings which celebrate beauty are inferior, worthless, and "kitschy". Sophisticated people do not purchase such works.
