Acquired taste
Oct 6
“When people get older, they get bitter or get cute.” — Kim Shattuck
Where an old boy’s acute frown’s a cute grin upside-down, “Monsieur Rose” turns it around. From France, Philippe Katerine’s art movement – le mignonisme (“the cuteness”) – turns up around his birthday in Pepe’s hometown, when most acute’s his frown.
Avoiding maturity is, for many men, not just a cute hobby, but a life’s work – often handsomely rewarded in the infantile popular culture of the West.
