Okay Thanks, but Kinkaide is not art.

Art is in the eye of the beholder. Critics often choose to "control" what art is the way "diamonds" are controlled.
Kinkade obviously connects with a lot of people. Since art is about communication, it seems to be doing well now, even if it doesn't connect with me personally. But Rockwell does...and he is widely derided (although less so now). It will be interesting to see if Kinkade's work continues to connect with future generations.

Okay Thanks, but Kinkaide is not art.Never said it was. I was simply responding to your "strip mall" attempt at condescension.
But if you crave contention, how about let's discuss Arkhip Kuinji and strip malls?

"Okay Thanks, but Kinkaide is not art."
Art is in the eye of the beholder. Evaluation of what passes as art is subjective, not objective. Kindaide is successful for a reason.
