Thomas Kinkade the Rise of Comfort Culture 🎨🕯️📺 • Thomas Kinkade’s popularity wasn’t just about pretty paintings—it was part of a larger cultural shift toward simplification and commercialization, especially in the U.S. This video explores how Reagan-era deregulation reshaped media into an opinion-driven commodity, mirroring a broader trend of consumer products designed for comfort over critical thought. • Kinkade’s work, like Yankee Candles and mass-market home décor, was designed to “feel” like art without challenging the viewer. True art sparks thought and engagement—Kinkade’s paintings, instead, provided an easy, sentimental escape. • This trend continues today, with popular media often avoiding depth in favor of comfort and surface-level appeal. So was Kinkade’s success a reflection of artistic genius—or just the perfect product for an era that valued feeling good over thinking critically? • 👇 Watch join the conversation! • #ThomasKinkade #ArtCritique #ComfortCulture #MassMarketArt #MediaDeregulation • 📌 Follow for more: • 🔴 YouTube: @art_lust • 🎨 TikTok: @artlust • 🖼️ Instagram: @art_lust_ • 🌐 Bluesky: @artlust.bsky.social
