CALIgula Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/08/arts/design/thomas-kinkade-artist-to-mass-market-dies-at-54.html He was born in my hometown, and was one of my favorite artists, mainly because of his use of light in his paintings (especially the cottage paintings). He painted for Disney as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somethinglikethat Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 It's always sad when people die. But it has to be said that this guy was one of the worst "artists" ever to pick up a paintbrush and the upside of this is that he won't be around to paint any more of those disgusting, saccharine, vacant, vapid pieces of shit pictured above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somethinglikethat Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 He has a gallery in every local mall. He was not an artist, he was a famous craftsman and entrepreneur who made hollow, meaningless, lowest-common-denominator paintings that appeal to people who don't understand that art is supposed to actually say something; the visual equivalent of a lifetime movie or a Danielle Steele novel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
