Ah, but that's where you're wrong. Theyll'd [sic] be caring a LOT when they try to profit from their "investments"....which is how this crapmeister has sold his wares fromt he beginning. He's the silkscreen version of "collector plates". Never the less, the people who pay for Kinkade don't give a **** about what you'lld rather buy. They will when they go to sell it in an effort to pay some retirement expenses. A She doesn't get it. Obviously, she has a large "investment" that's going to pay for her to retire in luxury. Kris |

The problem with Kinkade is not the work but the marketing.
If you like Kinkade fine. If you like paintings of kittens with big eyes fine. Elvis on velvet fine. Kinkade markets his work as an investment and as a "painter of light", a spiritual guide. He takes advantage of those who do not know any better |

This is only true if you look at decorative wallpaper as the highest aspiration of art. OTOH, if you accept that art represents the fundamental beliefs of the artist, and that some belief systems are not just wrong, but fundamentally destestable, then the "I'm OK, you're OK" philosophy just doesn't cut it.

The thing that irritates me is how he markets his "Christianity." Where I come from, real Christians are not greedy enough to make millions off of innocent buyers who think they are supporting a Godly man. mjoann |

I can't agree that any art is fundamentally detestable. I can certainly agree that some art is detestable to me, but that's personal perspective. As long as there's someone out there who likes it, art is not fundamentally detestable. I can't really follow that bit about "belief systems". It seems that you are saying that an atheist cannot appreciate religious art because the atheist thinks the belief system itself is fundamentally flawed. I remember seeing a canvas that was all white except for one small square of red in some Manhattan museum. MOMA or the Guggenheim, I think. I was thinking "This guy's scamming us passing this off as art", but someone on the museum acquisition committee found artistic value in it. Who's to say which of us was wrong? -- Tony Cooper Orlando, FL |
