pastiche
(redirected from Pastiches)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.01 sec.
pastiche (păstēsh`, pä–), work of art that combines themes and styles from various sources in such a way as to appear obviously derivative. Pastiches are frequently passed off as works by the artists from whom the motifs and figures were taken.
