He died on Good Friday. He had thousands of followers; and he was scorned and hated by elites. Who am I talking about? Jesus Christ, well no, I was talking about Thomas Kincade, the American painter who sold more artwork than anyone ever before. Whose mother, and grandmother doesn't have something in her home by Thomas Kincade, a calendar, bookmark, print, etc.? A lot of people loved him (like my mother) but it seemed just as many hated him, including many artists, cultural critics and his own dealers. I've bought his calendar every Christmas for my mother for years, so we benefited from his commitment to give Americans what they wanted. May the mass marketer Rest In Peace.
