So he's a craftsman. So what? - I like craftsmanship.I like the print in my hallway and I'm neither a builder or his wife.
You're just a snob.

I am not opposed to his workI am opposed to his going around slagging of artists and trying to pass himself off as something he is not.
It's his deliberate mis-education of others and continued slating of artists that pisses me off.
I like craftsmanship too.

He's not that much of a craftsmanwhen you consider he copied a lot of his work out of an artists training manual.

It's nothing of the sort in my opinionand I'd like to think I understand this as I am a cabinet maker. I also draw and I reference 'Anatomy for fantasy artists' by Glen Fabry. I can copy pretty much out of that to perfection now. It does not make me a talented artist, it simply means I have a talent for mimicry.
Vettriano simply copies figures from reference pictures and paints them a different colour. It requires very little talent. I know this because I do it all the time.
