Jack Vettriano

Jack Vettriano, a Scottish painter whom the public loved, and the art community loathed, has died.

There have been a number of artists like this, such as Sara Moon, and Vladimir Tretchikoff, he of "The Green Lady", whose aesthetic has been to the taste of the man in the street and not to the taste of those in the ivory towers.

"I don't know much about Art, but I know what I like!" is not an invalid opinion and while I who do know quite a bit about Art can argue that knowledge, might improve your enjoyment of a given work; I can perfectly reasonably say I don't know much about cars but I know I would like to have an E type Jag.

Vladimir Tretchikoff - Lenka's Family

[bitter69uk]

Born on this day 111 years ago: ultra-kitsch Russian-born mass market artist Vladimir Tretchikoff (26 December 1913 – 26 August 2006), whose vibrant “exotic” paintings like “Chinese Girl” (aka “The Green Lady”, one of the top-selling prints of the twentieth century), “Miss Wong” and “Balinese Girl” (pictured) ensure his position in the same elite “low brow art” pantheon as Margaret Keane and J H Lynch. Is any home complete without a framed Tretchikoff print above the mantelpiece (or even better, above the bamboo cocktail bar)?
