Tuesday, October 04, 2005 Jack Vettriano - Singing Butler
I first saw Jack Vettriano's paintings in Kirkcaldy in 1996 which can't be long after his prints started to be published. I bought one of the prints from a Kirkcaldy picture framer - thought it was brilliant, and the framer filled me in on his background. Now that print has become probably the most popular in the UK and is hanging on everyone's wall. It seems that with popularity comes the media, and there is no-one the media likes to have a pop at more than Jack Vettriano. The Daily Record has run a story about him copying his most famous painting and in this BBC news piece he brushes it aside. Rightly so.

Who am I? I'm Adam Christie. I love looking at art, all types of art. I comment on it in my own way. I despair at art snobbery. There is no need for it. Occasionally I even pick up a brush myself, despite not having an art degree! That's a hanging offence in some art circles.
This blog is just a bit about the art I come across on my travels and maybe some stuff about my own painting experiences. Hope you find it useful. Contact me! Text Link Ads script error: local_90713.xml does not exist. Please create a blank file named local_90713.xml. |
