Information About

Low Culture




Kitsch , Camp , Escapist Fiction , Popular Music , and Exploitation Film s are examples of low culture. It has often been stated that in Postmodern times, the boundary between high culture and low culture has blurred. See the 1990s artwork of Jeff Koons for example of Appropriation of low art tropes.

Romanticism was one of the first artistic movements to reappraise "low culture", when previously maligned Medieval Romances started to influence literature and Susan Sontag was one of the first essayists to write about the intersection of high and low art in her 1964 essay " Notes On 'Camp' ".
