Camp

After doing some research on "camp" art, I have discovered that it is much like "schlock" and kitsch" but aqcuires both good and bad tastes. As http://www.cla.purdue.edu/english/theory/postmodernism/terms/camp.html states, it is "A sensibility that revels in artifice, stylization, theatricalization, irony, playfulness, and exaggeration rather than content".

I have also understood from the article titled "Schlock, Camp, and Kitsch- And the Taste of Things to Come" that camp is definitely overused. Interestingly, the book talks about how things can be described as "campy" which would imply that something is "good because it is so beautifully awful". Camp objects include art deco (probably the most common form), Mickey Mouse collectables, people such as Flash Gordon, Charlton Heston, Buck Rogers, and many more.

I also have pinned a few things on Pinterest of "campy" art.

Below are a few examples of "camp" art with labels of the exact type:
