I have to admit, I had to google this. I never really knew about this altered art movement. I think it is hard to identify. From what I can tell it needs to be ironic, absurd, make a statement by combining images and words. Kitsch is a yiddish word I think. I believe I still don't get this. Please refer us to something to read about this movement.
