The pile-on on Thomas Kinkaide - it's not about the art -

[Atman]

53. Don't be so sure of that...

Check out this blog post from Bill Griffith (Zippy The Pinhead). Apparently there was just such an exhibit at Moma, although it doesn't appear that Kinkade was in it. I don't think he was on the scene at the time this was written (Post #69)

This strip (sadly, the referenced image no longer available at the site) I did, I think, apropos of a show, I'm not sure, maybe it was a precursor. There was a show at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, called "High Art / Low Art." Art Spiegelman did a great critique of it in Art News. He did a full-page, "just let 'em have it" critique of the whole thing. I think I might have done this before that, I'm not sure. Anyway, I'm parodying four different artists here. First, of course, Magritte's famous surreal painting of the guy with the green apple floating in front of his face and he's saying, "What's all this controversy over high art and low art?" Then this weeping Picasso woman in the second panel is says, "The distinction has become academic, n'est pas." Then the Keane painting girl in the third panel says, "Just dial 411." And then Sluggo, from the Nancy and Sluggo strips says, "Art is information."
