Jack Vitriano : high romance or Athena poster ?

Beauty as they say is in the eye of the beholder, and therefore art being a mainly visual experiance is subject to the viewers own perception and decision on wether it is art or merely trash. Jack vitrianos work appeals to me and so in my opinion is art executed to a high degree.

Surely any piece of work that is pleasing to you must be art and not crap.

Simplistic maybe, but there you go.

Jack Vitriano high romance or Athena fodder?

I don't know about Jack Vitriano I have never seen any of his work, however I very drawn to the work of Jack Vettriano. Athena fodder, is that an insult or a compliment?

His simple, easy to look at, paintings display elements of realisim and humour without an over complicated style. Jack Vettriano has put the fun back into contemporary art.
