Eddie Franklk article on Jack Vitrano (“His paintings resemble a double burger cheesh in a greasy cover,” March 3It is full of a kind of dislocated compliments, recognition of recognition and contempt of Snobbish who followed the Scottish painter throughout his career. For many art critics, Vettriano has made the final sin of being popular with a type of people who do not usually get art. Or, says Franklk, the type of people who enjoy McDonald’s cheese sometimes.
You have always been cautious about the idea that art is better if you have to perform mental acrobatic games in order to “get it”. I showed a recent “good” art several times, and I was told about the reason It is good – but I do not necessarily want to hang in my house.
The best Vettriano paintings, on the other hand, excite feelings in people who seem to be many “good” artworks that are simply unable to provoke. Regardless of the “conceptual edge” that Frankl finds it lacks the lyric server, few people may deny it is a beautiful painting. Do you prefer to hang a beautiful painting on the wall, or a painting that does not mean “conceptual edge” is something at all for anyone except for the artist and a handful of critics?
I imagine that people will appreciate the Vettriano paintings 50 years ago – a long period of every memory of modern art “Concilious” preferred by the critics that we liked. Through the beauty of his artist, the democratic was canceled in Vettriano, taken away from critics and placed it in the hands of ordinary people. It is a sin that many in the art world still cannot forgive. But then maybe not “get it” as critics do.

It is 2025, however it seems that the main trustee comment on the death of Jack Vitiano is that his work is “sexy”. Are we really still evaluating art only through a view of two different sexes for males? Eddie Franklk admits that Vettriiano’s work is “sexually biased”, and he is at a rejection if there is ever. Vettriano’s action is Retrograde and the subject of the subject (women who have a very narrow era segment) in a way that is no longer acceptable.
It is not a defense to claim that something is “common”; It can be said that Donald Trump is “common”. The amazing aesthetic of Vettriano’s work, and its ability to give you a feeling of uncomfortable, which Franklke can familiarize it with by describing it as a “double burger cheeshes wrapped in fat paper”, guaranteed in the clear displacement of his photos; The scenarios in the paintings deny that they are exciting and romantic while serving a polished cover of veiled women.

Perhaps I am one of the unwashed great people. I have always loved Jack Vettriano paintings and have a room of its publications. I also have prints from Van Googh’s and Munch’s Pictures, and some of the original versions that I can carry by “non -discovered” artists. What seems that the art world forgets is that you can like all these at the same time. In the same way, I love Chopurt and I love Boney M, although one of them is better to dance.
