Art history and Kitsch". In the essay Greenberg claimed that the avant-garde arose in order to defend aesthetic standards from the decline of taste involved in consumer society, and seeing kitsch and art as opposites. Greenberg further claimed that avant-garde and Modernist art was a means to resist the leveling of culture produced by capitalist propaganda. Greenberg appropriated the German word 'kitsch' to describe this consumerism, although its connotations have since changed to a more affirmative notion of leftover materials of capitalist culture. Greenberg later became well known for examining the formal properties of modern art. Meyer Schapiro is one of the
Low molecular-mass organic gelators near the structure, entering or exiting the structure. The stability of a formed gelation matrix is dependent on the equilibrium between the assembled network and the dissolved gelator assemblies. LMOGs are functionally diverse and can be composed of both polar and non-polar regions (amphiphiles). Scanning Electron Microscopy is a useful means for researchers to determine the structural properties of a low molecular-mass weight gel. These gels exhibit a wide range of structures; from fibrous strands (of various lengths) to ribbons and tubes. The structure of these gels is a key factor in their ability to gel solvents or water. Their
