I now find myself wondering if condemning Julio Romero de Torres as a producer of kitsch is an expression of a now discredited modernist dogma or, on the other hand, a resolute defence of aesthetic value in the face of postmodern attempts to rehabilitate reactionary ersatz culture.
Greenberg's "Avant-Garde and Kitsch" is still worth a look, even if it does nothing more than allow the reader to learn that the term "kitsch" does more than describe 70s home decor.
I do have more to say on "Venus de la Poesía"...
