Thomas Kinkade (1958 – 2012) was an American painter. He developed the Thomas Kinkade Company which he used to mass produce his art to sell to the public. Kinkade’s paintings always feature overtly idyllic scenes with an abundance of color and saturation. Unfortunately his work has never been well received by art critics and has been referred to as “kitsch” on several occasions. Though not necessarily well loved by the fine art community, his paintings still continue to charm many viewers.
