"the numbers of his painters ..."
I didn't know he used the paint-by-numbers method. That explains a lot.

Too bad he is gone. He did really beautiful work that many of us really enjoy.
To: robowombat
Kinkade was an innovator, no doubt, but his art became kind of pedestrian with so much repetition. He also had problems with proportion and depth of field that prevented his art from transcending the line between kitschy greeting card art and ‘masterpiece’ art.

he actually used surrogates and assembly line techniques.
he would paint a small bit or a stroke on a painting and claim it as his own and charge accordingly.

Yep. Something wrong here. The whole thing is grammatically clumsy. It’s hard to believe that a professional writer penned this.

My wife and I were at a furniture store a few months ago and I saw a painting I really liked. By the time we got home I forgot the name of the artist. I recognized that it must have been Kinkade. I just found a wallpaper of the painting I liked.

he actually used surrogates and assembly line techniques. Hard to fault him too much for that. Famous painters have regularly done that, hence all the "School of X" paintings.
His paintings were definitely emotional and lowbrow. That does not necessarily mean they were bad. I read a piece of serious criticism of his work a year or so ago (from NRO?). Conclusion was that his early stuff was very good, but he got lazy and sloppy over the years.

The pictures all look like greeting card illustrations. Nothing could be worse

Alcohol — “cunning, baffling, and powerful.” Having been granted a reprieve from that horrible addiction, my heart and prayers go out to anyone still under its deadly spell.
