Thomas Kinkade
Beginning questions:
1. Why is this type of artwork in this book?
2. What is the purpose of this kind of art?
3. Is this even considered art? Or an art with meaning?
I initially asked "is this even considered art" for a conditioned mentality. I certainly recognize Kinkade's paintings as art, I mean they are aesthetically beautiful and I would imagine would take very developed painting techniques. However I've seen them my entire life on merchandise type objects and when I first saw the pictures for the chapter, I automatically thought, wait, this isn't art, this is merchandise. It took me a second to realize that yes, originally this was produced as art and not mass produced machine printed items.
Ending Questions:
1. Is his "happy" perfect sounding life still that way?
2. Has he worked on any other projects besides this one?
3. Has he been through any traumatic experiences?
