Adelaide artist Frida Las Vegas (Stavroula Adameitis) has a new book out celebrating Australian kitsch, pulling together her signature pop art treatment of ibises, poodles, palm trees and Greek columns in full colour. She makes a case for kitsch as a legitimate aesthetic rather than a pejorative, tracing the term back to 19th-century German classism.
