Well, aren’t you two special. Perhaps it’s not “art”, but rather illustration, like Norman Rockwell; and people are responding to the symbolism and the message rather than the aesthetic.

Groan....Rockwell is rolling over in his grave.

"Well, aren’t you two special."

Lol, not really. I like tacky stuff, too.

I bought this "Triple Elvis" print of a panel in a 22-piece Warhol installation called "Elvis"(1963).All the pieces were to be side-by-side, at Warhol's request. A critic at the time wrote:

"Toe to toe, repeated atop one another, poor Elvis becomes as thin and hazy as the idyllic illusion he publicly symbolizes; the assembly line produces the emptiness and sterility of soulless, over-managed puppetry."

Ouch. Meanwhile, Christie's sold one of the panels for $81.9 million in 2014. There's no accounting for taste. I just don't personally like this other guy's paintings past the first two I saw. Went to his website and it's a Kincaide-style schlock factory, lol. I'm sure he's crying all the way to the bank!
