The Structure of Bad Taste
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
|
"Bad taste shares the same lot that Croce saw as characteristic of art: everybody knows what it is and how to detect and predicate it, but nobody knows how to define it. For this, it is often necessary to turn to the experts. the connoisseurs, people "with taste," on the basis of whose behavior we can then define good or bad taste, in relation to particular cultural settings."--"The Structure of Bad Taste" by Umberto Eco |
