Jack Vettriano

The retrospective of Vettriano's paintings at Kelvingrove has generated lots of comment. There are over 100 works here and that is one of the problems as the repetitive nature of his paintings is emphasised. Having said that the paintings are vibrant and intriguing and his popularity is understandable . The other aspect of course is that he has created a market for his work .....witness the gift shop of Vettriano " memorabilia"
