Abstract

According to the aesthetic principles that are caricatured through the mechanical process of “kitschisation”, we shall distinguish three types of kitsch: one when the beautiful is fading, another one when the sublime is caricatured into grandiloquence and the last one when the notion of grace is turned into affectation. When the beautiful gets bland, we get tired of it and look for a sublime that is inspiring; but, when tired by a sublime that can become fake, we turn ourselves towards Grace. Once again, Grace can be more or less artificial and when we feel weary of it, we come back to the degraded forms of the Beautiful and the Sublime in a repeated circle.
