How can you people still be talking about this?
There's a crime scene on the dance floor, for Pete's sake!

Wait!
Kinkade produced commodities.

I don't even blame Kinkade for his own self-promotion.
I have absolutely no problems with his self-promotion, nor with his
ability to sell vast quantities of his product. My objection is to
the pretence that he is providing the artistic equivalent of fine
dining rather than fast food.
Of course if his work wasn't positioned as a "fine dining" equivalent, it
wouldn't sell. The pretense is an essential part of the product. While his happy little
scenes aren't my idea of art, they obviously fit that definition for some. That's opinion
to which his buyers are entitled. Beauty and message are subjective, and the art market
isn't subject to censor by the taste police.
