Thomas Kincaid, painter of ...
Hey all, I am not interested in generalities or base dualities. I see the chiaroscuro of everyday life. Nothing is ever simply black and white. That being said, anyone who likes Thomas Kincaid should just die. See, I am calmer now. In the old days, I would have said 'kill yourself'. This guy is a dip who perfectly demonstrates all that is wrong with commercialization of art as mass media. In case you don't know who Kincaid is, I envy you. oh, and he is the cottage in the woods guy. It is all he paints. He has thousands of variations, of cottages... in the woods. If you don't believe me (and that would be foolish), here is an example
I have nothing wrong with paintings of cottages in the woods. What disappoints me is that cottage-boy is more successful, rich, and well regarded than Picasso and Dali put together. The problem is that dude shits these out once a month and gets millions. He is so successful that 60 Minutes did a piece on him. Remember when 60 minutes did that interview with Dali, Wyeth, Picasso, or even Bob Ross? NO! But Kincaid gets a story. I saw things in that story that sickened me. He was taking lithographs (that is art snob talk for poster) and highlighting two lines on each poster with a paint pen. The posters then instantly became worth tenfold. When they showed this, he had assistants moving and placing the posters underneath his wrist at light speed. Dude was knocking out about 40 or 50 a minute.
and before you comment the obvious, Andy Warhol was a completely overrated hack too.
