	Favourite Art


	On this page are my ramblings about some of the art that I love and some of the art that I own. Perhaps we all have an art critic inside us. I have not just included artists but those who work in other areas whom I have found influential.


	TAMARA DE LEMPICKA.

		Queen of Art Deco painting, I love Tamara De Lempicka. Apparently she was not taken too seriously in her day. I think that she was years ahead of her time and her art still has an ultramodern feel even today. The self portrait in the Bugatti is a wonderful artwork. With a nod to cubists, she has made this a style all of her own and for me, the look in the eyes is just priceless. Apparently, De Lempicka lived a full life and was prone to partying...art and parties: ok by me!


		JEAN PAUL GOUDE

	Ok, so he’s normally classed as a graphic designer but to me he’s an artist too. Jean Paul Goude, I would say has been a major influence on me. In my teens I was exposed to his work in The Face magazine and of course, all those striking visuals produced for Grace Jones. A true original and I would go so far as to say a genius.

		JACK VETTRIANO

	I get SO annoyed at people criticising Vettriano. I hate art snobbery and my belief is that it’s that British thing of attacking those who are most successful. Vettriano even gets a hard time in Scotland rather than being celebrated and I for one, just don’t understand. Modern, exciting, emotive and hanging on walls worldwide.....love it!
