Gilbert K. Chesterton
The reason the art world doesn't respond to Kinkade is because none - not one - of his ideas about subject-matter, surface, color, composition, touch, scale, form, or skill is remotely original. They're all cliche and already told.
Jerry Saltz
We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth, at least the truth that is given to us to understand.
