Kinkades paintings are worthless schmaltz, and the lamestream media that love him are wrong. However, Id love to see a museum mount a small show of Kinkades work. I would like the art world and the wider world to argue about him in public, out in the open. – Jerry Saltz

They tore apart visual culture at a time of no money, no market, and no one paying attention except other artists. Vietnam and Watergate had happened everything in America was being questioned. – Jerry Saltz
