Product Description

Product Description
Jack is one of the UK's most popular, and yet most controversial, contemporary artists. His pictures sell for a record amount of money, the paintings in his exhibitions are always sold out before the opening and 'The Singing Butler' made history for being the most expensive painting by a Scottish living artist ever to be sold at auction. (And surely the same painting is one of the world's most replicated fine art images?)Here, for the first time, we get up close and personal with Jack in the studio. We see how he works in his studios in Scotland, London and Nice and we see how these locations influence his paintings. The book also includes brand new paintings never before seen. We analyse Jack's own cultural influences and the influences his work has come to have on popular culture in turn.With outstanding and revealing photograph by Jillian Edelstein and a foreword from friend and fellow son of Fife, author Ian Rankin, this is a book to delight Jack Vettriano's fans.

About the Author
Jack Vettriano lives in Nice, Fife and London.

5.0 out of 5 stars Through the keyhole for Jack fans, 25 Mar 2008
By RC (Leicester (UK)) - See all my reviews
  
Sorry for gushing but I'm a real fan of Jack Vettriano's work - I love the story-telling within each piece and the glamorous world he paints. This book, I admit isn't all about the paintings - it is actually a look at the artist - how he creates the work and his inspirations. So you get to see into his house, his books and the models he paints. I'm quite nosy and this is a classy piece of "through the keyhole" work. You get to see the artist in his natural surroundings. Plus I love the new paintings.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book with some flaws, 2 Jul 2008
By M. Mccurtin - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I really liked this book, the pictures are great quality and being able to see Vetrianos studies was interesting. However as another reviewer said you don't actually get to see or read much about how the artist works other than some brief talk of music and inspiration, even with these small flaws it's still a book worth reading and one I come back to often for inspiration myself.
