Abstract
A discussion of mass production using the artist Thomas Kinkaid as an example. Kinkade, the painter of light, was an artist that was readily available to the average American art lover and potential speculative art collector. In this article, the author discusses the idea of mass-produced art, which allows the ordinary person to join the art world. Media Arts Group, Inc was able to create prints in mass production. As a result, Thomas Kinkade built an empire of light and beauty, selling his works to the masses, while mixing religion and values into his work.
