His "vapid and sophomoric" art is loved by many people, not for being deemed worthy by people such as you, but for its simple goodness. It is soothing to the soul in a way that other art isn't. It's not magnificent like a Renoir or Klee or Rembrandt but instead is what I liken to an innocent child.
RIP, Thomas Kinkade.

drango, like so many of his liberal ilk, thinks of himself as an effete, but his words betray him as a child in a museum repeating lessons his mommy taught him that to colored dots on an orange background is “intellectual” while comforting and lovely art is for the proletariat.
As always, the liberals who root for the masses on the sidelines are snobbish elite - the self-appointed Bourgeois who won’t even accept the irony of that designation. Not only that but they are the priggish elite with no sense of taste at all. But they buy into the base shucksterism of fast talking “artists” who possess not a whit of talent. Which is hilarious when you see a $250,000 painting over their mantle that is new-age schlock.
We almost need drango here as an example for our children of what not to be.
