I was telling my wife about the John Waters interview from the previous post, and emphasizing how much the "stops me in my tracks" meant to me. Then I wanted to follow up by comparing the artists who create audacious art to the schlockmeisters of kitsch, but couldn't remember the name of the example of the latter I wanted to cite. The guy had been pretty famous, but faded away before his early death. But what was his name? I even tried googling kitsch and schlock art, but no luck.
Still, remembering my past experience, I told her that I would probably soon see that name somewhere, when I wasn't looking for it. It's happened to me several times already, and I've learned not to stress in the moment. Just give it a little time.
Today, in Walmart, we were walking from the department store side to the supermarket side, when in a display of 2022 calendars, I saw one that featured the art of Thomas Kinkade.
Funny how it works, but it does...
