Gustav E. Pazaurek
Prague, Czech Republic, 1865 - 1935, Altmannshofen, Germany
Pazaurek was a member of the Deutscher Werkbund, founded in 1907, and as such devoted himself with great zeal to the fight against "bad taste", which he also tried to categorize, from "patent humor" to "encroachment on decor". Among the material defects, Pazaurek ranked, for example, the "material pimpeleien" (objects made from unsuitable materials), in addition to which he differentiated the main categories of construction defects, decor defects and kitsch. In the latter case, Pazaurek denounced, among other things, the "hero kitsch" and the "ostentatiousness". In connection with this he founded the so-called "Kitsch Museum" in 1909 at his place of work in Stuttgart.
Pazaurek was also a specialist in Empire and Biedermeier glasses and porcelain. [https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustav_Edmund_Pazaurek&prev=search&pto=aue DJackson 4/2/2021]
