from an interview with Jack Vettriano"I just consider myself a trader. I take my goods to the marketplace and try to get the best price I can."
The greater glory of art doesn't come into it, he confirms. "That's not why I paint," he said. "It's wall decoration for me, I don't regard it as this big meaningful thing. My subjects are men and women getting off, that's all. Mind you, some people don't think sex is serious, but I happen to think it's terribly serious."

But he just illustrates boring and oldfashioned ideas of sex, and does bad compositions
"Hans" is out of his mind. I recently discovered J.V. and it took me into a dreamy, sultry, sophisticated "bad girl/bad boy" world of fascination and desire. The emotions are strong and the composition is appropriate. I am an artist that put painting on hold for a number of years. Finding Jack has made me want to paint again. I find myself trapped in his paintings...yearning for more....very tantalizing.
