In his essay Avant-Garde and Kitsch, Clement Greenberg contrasts the two, positioning avant-garde as "high" art and kitsch as "low" art. He argues that avant-garde is created for connoisseurs and exists "for art’s sake," while kitsch is mass-produced entertainment for the uneducated. I disagree with Greenberg's dismissal of kitsch, as its accessibility allows for meaningful interpretation and emotional exploration, especially for those with limited time for art. Additionally, Greenberg claims avant-garde avoids dramatization, but I believe techniques like reducing subjects to abstract forms are forms of dramatization themselves.
