Thomas Kinkade, Beauty and Light
March 24th, 2010 by Aldouspi

Thomas Kinkade

As the poet Shelly says,“Beauty is Truth and Truth is Beauty, And that is all you need to know.”

I mention this quote because when it comes to describing the art of Thomas Kinkade – beauty is the first word that comes to mind. Kinkade is called the artist of light because when he paints a window at night – the light streams from it. When he paints a Christmas tree- the Christmas light seem to twinkle.

Beauty and light and it fascinates me. The subject that Kinkade paints are not unusual. They are cottages that probably do not really exist and gardens that do, if you are lucky. Landscapes and small town night scenes and lighthouses.

Kinkade is not about breaking the boundaries of art and that is just fine with me. He creates beauty and he does it very well.

When I place a piece of art on my walls – one question I ask is this: Will I get tired of looking at it? That is a major criteria of mine when it comes to art. Thomas Kinkade passes this test.

Some may think his work is too commercial – it is found on all kinds of decorative items. But I suspect, that a hundred years from now. Even the least expensive piece of Thomas Kinkaid shlock will be considered priceless.
