About the Author
Jack Vettriano was born in Scotland in 1954. He left school at fifteen, became an apprentice mechanical engineer the following year and worked for five years in the Fife coalfields. He began painting in his spare time at the age of 21. In 1989 he submitted two paintings to the Royal Scottish Academy annual exhibition: both pieces were accepted, hung and sold. This exposure led to his first solo exhibition in 1992 - since then he has had exhibitions in London, South Africa and Hong Kong. He has been featured in many radio programmes, including The Usual Suspects, Home Truths, Postscript and Midweek on Radio 4. His work was featured in BBC 2's coverage of the 1995 Edinburgh Festival, Edinburgh Nights.

The perfect gift?
This is a lovely book that's crammed with the "best bits" of Jack's world - women in dreamy if occassionally provocative poses. Have to admit that although I've seen the majority of these images before (I think there are a few new ones) there is a foreword by Mr.Vettriano himself. Something I don't think his other books have...?

This would make a lovely present for a friends birthday or any admirers of Jack Vettriano's work.
