HR Thomas Kinkade.

Other kitsch is fine too. Make my brain seep out by osmosis due to some heavy-duty mawkishness.

>Other kitsch is fine too.

What exactly are you suggesting about Mr. Kinkade's art?

Overdone. Like an overcooked steak, the flavour disappears.

Jesus, Thomas Kinkade? I don't know how this guy went from selling his art to hotels by the pound, to being an "artist". He's about as close to true art as Dale Chihuly, maker of fine vases and other arts & crafts.

This shit should be hanging in dentist's offices, not being passed off as art.

now i do have a problem with those, because this shit gets mass manufactured in China (like everything else) and sold in catalogues inserted into tabloid newspapers or in cheapo shops. People buy these and eventually these end up in a garage sale. Made of nothing, worth nothing.

You realize that pretty much EVERY famous artistic piece ever created has been scanned or photographed and put on 4chan for millions to download for free, right?
So by your logic, every one of those is worth nothing, too.

It's not the duplication/access/elitism that makes kitsch art kitsch. I'm saying those...paper weights or whateverthefuckthatshitis are crap. They look nice for a bit (thus suckering poor fags into buying them thinking it'd make a nice heirloom or whatever their pathetic imaginations think they are for), but they're mass-manufactured, of general low quality, and either end up in a landfill or in a garage sale. Much like those disgusting clay dragon figures with faux jewels you find in stores usually reeking of 30-odd different incenses mixed together.

True - but that puts him on par with all the other maseters that presided over a harem of students. Think Michaelangelo painted everything he signed?

I wonder, where does he get this inspiration from? Is it an actual place or does he just make up all of the different houses?

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

>>419932

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.

Yes, I do. Michelangelo considered himself a sculptor, and hated painting. Therefore he did as little of it as he could. You don't find tons of paintings whose creation by Michelangelo is in doubt.

Dumbass. The OP himself stated the works are kitsch. Except for a troll, you're the only one arguing something differently.

Agreed. I do not believe that Michaelangelo presided over a harem of students.

What is with the perspective? Compared to the Christmas tree and the people the door is huge!

What is that lantern above the bay window exactly lighting? The roof?

But still, I adore them so. Like pouring a pint of treacle into ones mouth.

Imagemagick

Learn it. Use it. Love it.
A perfect example of the power in the unix world; one program to automate image processing, you'll hardly need another program. And it's free under the GPL.

But... Bah, whatever. Go back to baby-sitting your hole-in-the-wall operating systems, paying separately for each and every button.

it means there are hardly any sharp shadows or highlights- half of the objects should have them.
There's his dumbfuck use of color- throwing every bright hue he can into with no regard for composition whatsoever.

This is art superficial. Alright, given art's subjective nature, maybe I can't call it shitty, but it speaks to nothing more than shallow nostalgia.

In his defense, he does provide pics stitched back together from several thousand pieces. Whereas you contributed nothing.

Somebody mentioned the art community considering this to not be art, yet if you look at what is in some galleries you'll see retarded shit like a blob of glass with some smaller blobs on it or a painting that is the size of a house made up of 3 colored stripes.

I have contributed a lot to 4chan over the past few years. Judge me on what I say, not what you think I haven't done.
And honestly, based on that guy's post, he's a bitter elitist. So fuck off.
