I am an artist and while I do not like Kincade’s paintings, neither do I like paint thrown on canvases. There is a lot of good stuff out that that is neither one.

Tastes vary. I'm not a huge Kinkade fan. I just think that "kitsch" is mostly used as word to say "I am so sophisticated, that I am above liking such stuff as this".

The word might have a genuine meaning, but in popular conversation it is used to insult one thing in order to elevate one's self and promote the idea that one is Intellectually Sophisticated.

The only people I know who use the word "kitsch" are Liberals.

so Ditter...show us some of your work..
let us judge you...

I'm a mother of an artist (medical Illustrator) “they draw what can't be seen, watch what's never been done, and tell thousands about it without saying a word”

ALL artist have been given a talent from God...ours was a gift as well...I've always found Peace and Comfort in Thomas Kinkades works, he will be missed by many..

WISHING ALL FREEPERS A BLESSED EASTER.

"I am an artist and while I do not like Kincade’s paintings, neither do I like paint thrown on canvases. There is a lot of good stuff out that that is neither one."

Kincade painted schlock, but he was a genius at it, or at least at his approach to it. Anyone who can outrage as many artists as Kincade did has something going for him. Not my taste either, but I'm sorry he's gone.
