Comments
-I had no idea Thomas Kinkade was so popular. I actually think my family has one of his paintings in our house! His art pleases the masses. It’s not very bold; it doesn’t have something to say; it’s just pretty.
-I like that Vanessa Beecroft has a purpose to work. It says something. I however think it’s a bit one dimensional.
Comments on Questions
- Thomas Kinkade uses paint. I think it’s good to find the medium you are best with and to run with it.
- Vanessa Beecroft “…constructs her image of self according to criteria valued by contemporary society.” She also selects her audience, which I really don’t care for. I think it’s setting yourself up for a guaranteed success.
- These artists are totally different. One paints scenery to be mass-produced and to make money. The other is actually using humans, woman, in her art to get a point across.
Ending Questions
- What kind of art do I want to create? Pretty art or art with purpose?
- Is it possible to combine both styles into one?
- Who is my audience? Homeowners? Businessmen? People who go to galleries or people who don’t appreciate art?
