I must have missed this thread.
"The art of selling Kitsch" is what Kinkade is about.
Here's an interesting read, that explains his work for what it really is... crap.

Kitsch comes in many shapes and sizes.
IKEA is a good example of Kitsch at it's very best, or should I say worst.
Quote:
Art, pictures and other decorations bring life to your walls. IKEA has a wide range of frames, pre-framed pictures, art cards and wall deco to choose from. All in different, sizes, shapes and colors - at prices you can afford.
The only difference is that IKEA's cheaper.
