High-class kitsch may well be perfect in its form and and composition: the academic painters were often masters of their craft.

Kitsch is much more than a question of style; it’s a preference for consolation over truth. Disney’s version of reality is not just cleaned up, it’s pernicious. Unlike the best forms of art and philosophy, it undercuts the possibility of transformation because it portrays a world that’s just fine as it is--or as it will be by the time the credits come up Picture Quote #1

The Rolling Stones have been the best of all possible worlds: they have the lack of pretension and sentimentality associated with the blues, the rawness and toughness of hard rock, and the depth which always makes you feel that they are in the midst of saying something. They have never impressed me as being kitsch Picture Quote #1

Her kitsch was the image of home, all peace, quiet, and harmony, and ruled by a loving mother and a wise father. It was an image that took shape in her after the death of her parents. The less her life resembled the sweetest of dreams, the more sensitive she was to its magic, and more than once she shed tears when the ungrateful daughter in a sentimental film embraced the neglected father as the windows of the happy family’s house shone out into the dying day Picture Quote #1

Most of the time, the songs have jokes in them, little sarcastic things, or purposely kitsch or something. So that’s going along with a story, like I do in life, just talking to myself and making fun of stuff and laughing at stuff that’s serious. And sometimes it’s a good idea to put the laughing into the songs. Sometimes it’s not. Sometimes it’s all right just to be serious. But most of the songs have some kind of joke in them Picture Quote #1
