Thomas Kinkade

Masterworks of Light

Thomas Kinkade's light-filled paintings of cottages, mountain vistas, peaceful towns, and bustling cities have become an American success story. With his special artistry and unique spiritual vision, Kinkade strikes a chord with a large audience who admire and collect reproductions of his work. This generous selection of his finest images is meticulously reproduced--and includes old favorites, as well as new work that has never before been published in an art book.

 In her introduction, Wendy J. Katz places Kinkade's work in both an art historical context--pairing him with Thomas Cole and Albert Bierstadt--and a contemporary context by examining his popularity and place in today's popular culture.

Organized by theme---The Sublime: Landscapes of Light; Narrative: Stories of Light; Nostalgia: Memories of Light; Moments of Light; and The Artist's Hand.

Masterworks of Light  identifies Thomas Kincade as a true master of landscape painting.
