		As a young man, Vettriano was a frequent visitor to the nearby art gallery in the town of Kirkcaldy.

	He's our favourite artist. So why do the galleries hate him so much? \| \| Guardian Unlimited Arts
		Vettriano's images of beaches, butlers and lovers have come to adorn everything from posters and cards to mugs and umbrellas, but the nation's major galleries have never displayed a single example of the real thing.
		Supporters of Vettriano claim that as a traditional artist he is the victim of snobbery which favours 'cutting edge' contemporary art such as Damien Hirst's shark in formaldehyde, Tracey Emin's unmade bed and Grayson Perry's pots.
		Sir Terence Conran, who commissioned Vettriano to paint a series of oils now hanging in his Bluebird restaurant complex in London, joined the criticism: 'They turn their backs on him because his work has been reproduced on posters, which I think is incredibly elitist and snobbish.

		Vettriano, a self-taught Scottish artist who is collected by celebrities and has become one himself, is portrayed here in photographs and self-portraits as a cross between Harvey Keitel and Bono, with the toughness and virility of one and the fashionable narcissism of the other.
		Vettriano is a romantic Hopper, but better - he stylizes, preaches, decorates, creates and delivers wondrous works that remind us why we love painting and painters who ignore critics and fashion and trends and paint what they want to paint.

		It seems impossible to most ordinary people that an artist whose prints outsell those of most others, whose work appears on all kinds of articles from postcards to mugs, posters to umbrellas, and whose most famous painting sold for £744,800 at auction should be shunned by art critics and public gallery curators.
		This is the case for Jack Vettriano, self-taught painter and former mining engineer from the Scottish coalfields.
		There is a particular style to the men and women in Vettriano's pictures: the men are hard-edged and mysterious, the women seductive and enigmatic.
