Thomas Kinkade, artist RIP

I really don't understand the nastiness aimed at him.  Surely, the world is a big enough place for all kinds of art.  Maybe it just gives a sense of self-superiority to label people whose taste in art differs from your own as un-educated know nothings.  I wonder what kind of art the Kincaid bashers have themselves actually produced.  It is always so much easier to criticize than to create.  He catered his art to a certain niche and did it quite successfully.  His work gave pleasure to many.
(And no, I don't have any of his work.)

I think he was pernicious.

We differ in what is important enough to be pernicious. IMHO, the GOP is pernicious. TK was just an artist that some liked and some did not.
