One of my favourite artists is Jack Vettriano. Some of his prints portray very elegant yet classic erotic posses from the 1930/40/50 era.
Does anyone else share my appreciation of his work?
Just google images and his name
In particular these prints:
Game On
Fetish
Night Calls II
The Red Room collection
The Strangeness & Magic
Love Story
Scarlett Ribbons is a great print too!
Let me know what you think! |

Love his work - sensual and understatedly erotic - have a book of his somewhere will have to dig it out.
I used to have the four guys on a beach pic on my wall which was the first of his that I saw and loved at a glance literally as passing a shop that had it in the window in the car. |

A friend introduced me to his pics a few years ago, must admit that I love them. Some of the sensual range are very erotic. I think it’s to do with what you imagine rather than what you see. And some of the devotion range i think would be extremely good to try and recreate for a Fab pic x  |

I appreciate and admire anyone who is self taught but having said that, I find his work very formulaic and samey... especially the erotic stuff ..its almost like poster art .. but i do like 'Beach' |

Yep, it does have that quality. That's part of what I like about it though.
He said that men are always recommending their partners as models and drag them along dressed in suspender belts.  |

We both love his work and in fact iit was one of the first things when we met we found we had in common. Hence our name on here...
He is much maligned by the established art world
Personally love “Game On” But a few others to look out for are:
Scarlet Ribbons
Blessing and a curse
Private dancer
Beautiful losers II

I really like his paintings, although they are looked down upon by most art critics, they say it’s painting by numbers, but if it was that easy more would be doing it ! |

I went to a restrospective of his with a Fab friend and we made up stories for them. We had a great time wondering if the figures had fallen out, or had just had sex, or it was the morning after, etc Leaving something to the imagination can be fun. |

"No he just copies better artists
Who does he copy ?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4310274.stm
The illustrator’s guide, for one! "
If you are self taught, thats how you learn before finding your own style..
Of course other artists are going to influence his work
Im not defending him btw, its just a fact |

It’s how you learn, yes, but then one should find one’s style. Not transplant the image and pass it off as an original work when it’s beyond derivative, it’s almost a facsimile! |

Have never thought or seen his work as being sensual or erotic in any way. Each to their own "
Exactly and that is the joy of art - it evokes different thoughts and images in different people |

Got a large, framed print of "Bluebird at Bonneville", upstairs.
I know he's often panned for being 'too popular' but with any commercially successful art, people buy what they like.
There's a lot of so-called 'art', which is critically acclaimed but just looks like pretentious shit.
I wouldn't hang a Picasso on my wall.
