Book excerpt: Thomas Kinkade, known as The Painter of Light', has become one of the most avidly collected, financially successful and controversial painters in history.

From credit cards to entire Kinkade homes, his signature art has been championed by the silent majority of Americans. This volume commemorates his first museum show.'
