"When a woman sits back with bright red lipstick and painted nails and smokes and lets a high heel hang off the end of her toe... well, that's me gone."

Vincent van Gogh As an artist, you realise there is no good or bad artists, just successful and unsuccessful artists. Good and successful do not go hand in hand in art. Jack Vettriano has proven you do not need the approval of the art establishment to be a success. Vincent van Gogh, arguably the greatest artist that ever died, his paintings are known by virtually every living human on the planet yet throughout his lifetime and career as an artist he sold just one solitary painting 'Red Vineyard at Arles.' It's unthinkable to think that such a poverty ridden career would lead to multi-million pound record breaking auction sales and van Gogh's painting's would be the pride of any major national art gallery after his death. |
