Holy shit - you people aren't seriously arguing that Kinkade paintings are ART?

This guy is right. Kinkade is a craftsman. His paintings are craft, as Bob Ross' were. They're lovely bits of sugary prettiness, but you try to put these prints in a showing or an auction. Chalk it up to snobbery if you like, but it won't happen.
Just because you swing a bat doesn't mean you're a major league ballplayer. It's up to MLB to determine that. And like it or not, the art community as it were decides who's an artist and who isn't.
Furthermore, do a little research, people. Kinkade himself refers to his work as illustration, not art. He doesn't see himself as creating high art.
