Description
Summary:It is Kitsch, since it is excessive as to the emotional argument in cultural praxis, by adaptations, by making art a product of consumption, which coincides with the sacralization of art and leads to aesthetics, whether in literature, painting or music, reflection about Kitsch today. In this regard, the Hegelian philosophy is added to the sociocultural reflections of Theodor W.

What indicates to be opportune the analysis of the forms by which the Kitsch manifests, by the style generally accepted, variable in the time and by the esthetic experience to the encounter of the contemporary art.
