“artist” Thomas Kinkade died today. The bitterness I feel towards Kinkade’s success comes from his dishonesty. He was a total capitalist. His motivation to churn out “fine art” is the same as Ford Motors & other Fortune 500 companies: maximize profit. His self-promotion is nauseating & insulting to any creative person. “I’m a warrior for light,” Kinkade said. Light symbolizes the divine. “I’m trying to bring light to penetrate the darkness people feel.” In reality, his corporation, Media Arts Group, took in $32 million per quarter from 4,500 dealers across the country. His paintings range from hundreds of dollars to more than $10,000. 1 in 20 U.S. homes have one of his paintings… http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-living/ci_20347297/thomas-kinkade-one-americas-most-popular-painters-dies

BLOOM: In 2003, the Massachusetts Mental Health center was set to close, and the buildings were slated for demolition.  Artist Anna Schuleit created an installation to commemorate the site’s 9-decade history as psychiatric hospital.  This is the extraordinary result.

Colassal has a wonderful interview with the artist and more images like the ones above.  (via Metafilter)
