Jack Vettriano - painter of the Singing Butler, dead at age 73 RIP
There was always a touch of snobbery towards Vettriano from the Scottish art establishment.
His paintings were seen as commercial, like glossy magazine photos.
This rather mirrored the attitude of the Paris Salon in the C19th towards the impressionists such as Pissarro and Cezanne for their desire to get outdoors and paint what they saw rather than sticking to formal subjects.

Took the words right out of my mouth.
