"Jack Vettriano " - the brand
, painter of sophisticated sex sirens ,
beachcombers, singing butlers, inspiration, appears rather
more workaday than van Gogh . According to a newspaper
report, Vettriano may have stumbled on his inspiration in
The Illustrator's Figure Reference Manual, a DIY art book
published in 1987. Someone noticed that there were
striking similarities between the book's illustrations and
some of Vettriano's best-known works.
Sandy Robb, from Edinburgh, came across the images when a
friend asked him to design something in the Vettriano style.
"I looked up an illustrator's reference manual which
contains hundreds of photos of models in various poses," he
told the Daily Record. "In the 'Ballroom Dancing - Waltz'
section I found what I was looking for. I thought one image
looked familiar, but couldn't think why - until I realised
it was from Vettriano." The newspaper found similarities
between other illustrations in the manual and Vettriano's
paintings. A dancing couple from the painting Dance Me to
the End of Love resembles figures from the manual's waltz
section, while couples in the painting Waltzers hold poses
that are almost identical to dancers in the manual. The
newspaper also suggested that Vettriano's painting, Elegy
for the Dead Admiral, brings together figures from various
sections of the manual. His agent, Tom Hewlett, said that he
was puzzled as to why people might be shocked to discover
that Vettriano had used a book to learn how to paint. "It is
widely known that Jack is a self-taught artist; it seems
unsurprising that as, in his early painting years he had
neither time nor the money at his disposal to work with real
life models, he should use a teaching manual such as this,"
said Hewlett, who uses his Portland Gallery in London to
showcase and sell the artist's work. He added: "Vettriano's
skill lies in his ability to create narrative paintings with
which the viewer becomes involved. "In this way, he
transforms mundane characters into extraordinary ones, and
everyday scenes into special occasions." The paintings are
largely snubbed by the art establishment but have been
bought by stars such as Jack Nicholson, Madonna, and Robbie
Williams. Richard Calvocoressi, director of the Gallery of
Modern Art in Edinburgh, has previously described him as an
"indifferent painter". Two years ago he received an OBE for
services to the visual arts. His latest work will be
unveiled in an exhibition in April next year.
