I wouldn't hang either one of them at home, but while the syrupy over the top melodrama of Kinkade identifies it immediately as kitsch, the likes of which we've seen before many times by many other flea market painters (it's a popular kitsch theme, in other words), the Campbell Soup painting holds my attention for its compositiion, its lines, and its tension. And it doesn't make any difference what name painted either one of them. (And it's "its", not "it's".) Others, I hope, will articulate it better than I can.
