🌠 Jack Vettriano Biography
Jack Vettriano is one of the most expensive Scottish artists, who received an award from Queen Elizabeth II for his contribution to British art. His works, such as "Bluebird at Bonneville" and "Birth of a Dream", despite the lack of interest from national galleries, have become real trophies for collectors around the world. For example, at the Millennium vernissage in New York, all 20 of his paintings, including "Dance with Me to the End of Love", were sold out on the first night after the opening.
Despite his popularity, Vettriano's work evokes polar opinions. His works "Mad Dogs..." and "Rumba in Black" are often criticized for their lack of originality and artistic value. However, even critics recognize his significance in contemporary art.
Vettriano's biography is no less remarkable. In his youth, he worked as a miner and enjoyed drawing for pleasure. His fate was changed by a friend who gave him watercolours for his 21st birthday, which prompted him to take art seriously. He spent twelve years developing his technique and in 1984 he first exhibited his work in public, although his first recognition came five years later when his paintings were exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy and immediately found buyers.
This success was a turning point: Vettriano moved to Edinburgh, opened a studio, took his mother's surname and began working with leading galleries around the world. Among his most famous works are The Singing Butler, which sold for three quarters of a million pounds, and A Very Dangerous Beach.
