Thomas Kinkade, Beauty and Light Mar 24th, 2010 by Aldouspi
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.

Waterfall Robert Crumb Movie, A Must See Feb 5th, 2010 by Aldouspi
Robert Crumb Movie, A Must See I have often wondered what we would have learned, if a documentary film could have been made of Vincent Van Gogh when he was still alive. Thankfully, we live in an age where we can get a movie made about some of our great artists and see what they are really like.
The Robert Crumb movie “Crumb” shows us a sexually hyper, but frustrated man who is much like the biographical stories and illustration done by Robert Crumb in his comics and books. And, of course, he is not like that at all, being as complicate and simple as any genius artist is.
After seeing him in the flesh, I am eternally thankful that some bully didn’t beat him up and break his hands when he was a child. We are lucky to have his talent displayed in this world.
And if you have not yet seen the Robert Crumb movie then you are lucky. It is intriguing and insightful and holds together well as a documentary. If you did know about his art before seeing this flick, you will want to know more…
