Whether relaxing on a beach, reclining in a bar or dancing through the night, this book celebrates Jack's vision of women and their importance in his work.Jack Vettriano is Scotland's best-known and most successful contemporary artist.

About the Author
Jack Vettriano was born in Scotland in 1954. He left school at fifteen, became an apprentice mechanical engineer the following year and worked for five years in the Fife coalfields. He began painting in his spare time at the age of 21. In 1989 he submitted two paintings to the Royal Scottish Academy annual exhibition: both pieces were accepted, hung and sold. This exposure led to his first solo exhibition in 1992 - since then he has had exhibitions in London, South Africa and Hong Kong. He has been featured in many radio programmes, including The Usual Suspects, Home Truths, Postscript and Midweek on Radio 4. His work was featured in BBC 2's coverage of the 1995 Edinburgh Festival, Edinburgh Nights.

Format:Hardcover
A beautiful book beautifully illustrated with many wonderful pictures to enjoy and hopefully aspire to. As an enthusiastic amatuer photographer and artist I am excited and inspired by the simplicity and emotion within each picture, and marvel at Jack's expertise.
The book is extremely convenient size-wise, being very easy to handle and keep at hand.
One can browse endlessly through these emotive images and never get bored, as there's always something more to detect with each viewing.
This book has given me hours of absolute pleasure.

What can I say? Women in Love will love this book. Jack Vettriano: What not to like? I love his work and this smaller version of many of his paintings was a perfect stocking filler.
