Jack Vettriano

[egb_hibs]

Potted.

Obituaries seem to be following the pattern while he was alive. ‘No great artist’ but ‘connected with people’ kinda stuff. I’m not sure how these statements go together, while some mentally disturbed person spraying bodily fluids onto a canvas to sell to some rich cnut is somehow more ‘serious’. Or indeed some public school wankers gurgitating some ham fisted ‘work’ propagating public school ‘revolutionary’ politics. Not to mention the avante garde maniacs such as the moo who repeatedly got herself pregnant in order to abort, and declared this an art work.

For these reasons and others, I will say RIP Jack, one of the actually great artists of his time.

Though not my cup of tea

My mates wife modelled for one of his paintings many moons ago.

I'm the same as you, his stuff isn't my thing - but def popular. RIP Jack

Excuse my ignorance but I had heard of Jack Vettriano and always thought he was a guitarist.
Obviously he wasn’t.
RIP

Maybe you were thinking of Jack Savoretti?

One of the few artists I could probably identify if someone showed me examples of their work. RIP Jack

Maybe you were thinking of Jack Savoretti?

Or Joe Satriani?

You’ll likely have seen prints of his paintings I think. We’re everywhere at one time.

Wasn't a fan but hats off to a working class gadgie made good.

And as you say, what can get passed off as art these days is beyond belief. Animal cruelty is now "art" apparently.

Fuckin nutter.

Sad to see you go Findlay.

The place will be a bit quieter, good luck in your travels.
