After Class-American Kitsch

American Kitsch can be simply explained by the definition of "Kitsch" which in German means in bad taste. This art style can be seen as tacky, and pointless this is why the style is not taught at art schools. Kitsch is highly involved in hollywood throughout the 1940's-60's, illustrations and designs involved exaggerated, organic lines. This style of art is synonymous with comic strip advertisements and the idea of a 50's diner. Along with these organic forms the kitsch style involved exaggerated facial expressions and dramatic poses used in every composition. Most of this style was influenced by the casual revolution which involved James Dean. The casual motif is found in Kitsch particularly in the typography which was mostly hand drawn. 

Besides Norman Rockwell who else was well known during the American Kitsch period?
