| Contemporary art can be characterized as the deliberate departure from tradition and the
use of innovative forms of expression that distinguish many styles in the arts and literature of our current
time period. |

Jack Vettriano
Vettriano's paintings hint at stories of seduction and betrayal in a style that has been compared to some
of the great realist painters of America and England. His work has been likened to that of
Walter Sickert, Edward Hopper and the photographer Brassai, and to some show influences from Scotland's
distinctive Colourist tradition.
