About this title

About the Author:

Jack Vettriano is entirely self-taught. A Scotsman of Italian descent, he left school at sixteen to become a mining engineer working down the Fife coalfields. For his twenty-first birthday a girlfriend gave him a set of watercolour paints and from then on, he spent much of his spare time teaching himself to paint. His first solo exhibition in Edinburgh was a sell-out and since then he has had solo exhibitions in London, Hong Kong, New York and Rome. Over the last twenty years, interest in Vettriano s work has grown consistently. Vettriano s best known painting, The Singing Butler, was sold at Sotheby s for close to £750,000. He was awarded an OBE for Services to the Visual Arts. He lives in both Fife and London.
