Fist 666 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. /thread seriously. you can't counter this.

Raight orn. I become incandescent with anger whenever I stroll past and happen to catch a glimpse of any airbrushed barber shop portraits. What are they trying to convey? They're devoid of any perceptable nuances.. what relevance does a fuckin' French crop or a flaptop have to do with the inquiry into Marxism? Do values of a bygone era successfully transcend into a kitsch self-indulgent observation of somebody's countenance and hairstyle? No. Of course not. Art isn't subjective, and that's a fact, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somethinglikethat Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Raight orn. I become incandescent with anger whenever I stroll past and happen to catch a glimpse of any airbrushed barber shop portraits. What are they trying to convey? Apples and oranges, and it was his own choice. Thomas Kinkade billed himself as a fine artist, the "painter of light"- not as a sign painter, illustrator, or airbrush barber shop painter; in doing so he opened himself up to criticism as such. Painter of light? You know who painted light? Vermeer painted light. Monet painted light. Van Gogh did it, John Singer Sargent, even Edward Hopper painted light. What Kinkade did was valueless, talentless kitsch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Mamerro Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I have a soft spot in my heart for this kitschy type of shit. People like looking at it a lot and it makes them happy, and I always keep a level of respect for things that resonate like that. RIP PS: Big ups to Christian Riese Lassen too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
