The Painter of the Right The Painter of the Right Thomas Kinkade’s paintings show conservatives a world they have already won.
Kinkade called himself the Painter of Light, but Art for Everybody finds the darkness in his life.
Commercial success made Kinkade a cultural phenomenon in his own right; it also encouraged him to strike a bargain.
And even if the Bridge of Hope is a bit less blunt than alligators in ICE hats, Kinkade’s work is inescapably ideological.
He started working in the 1980s, as the modern Christian right took shape and sought to flex its muscles.
