[the invisib1e hand]

I was looking at the paintings that were posted here. They are beautiful. To my eyes, they are an effective reminder of innocence -- even if that leaves us bittersweet these days, it surely prevents us from falling for the lie that innocence never was.

And that inevitably, if one follows it doggedly and truthfully, leads to Hope.

I agree with you.

As a Graphic Artist who attended Art School in the 70’s, I was trained to DESPISE this type of Art as “mawkishly Sentimental Kisch”. Yet, after seeing what has been foisted upon the public as “Art” for the last 100 years (Abstract Expressionism, Dada, Minimalist, Nihilist, Depressing, Mean Spirited CRAP), I feel drawn to that which lifts the Human Spirit. The Art and Music of the Renaissance, The Enlightenment, and Even the Impressionist Eras Celebrate Both Beauty and Truth, and I believe that Mr. Kincaid, in his own way, sought after that goal as well.

Innocence is a “Good” thing! :-)
