λJack Vettriano (Scottish b. 1951) On the beach Oil on canvas Signed lower left 61 x 50.5cm (24 x 19¾ in.) Provenance: Private Collection Jack Vettriano is a self-taught painter. Born in Fife in 1951, it wasn’t until 1989 when he submitted two paintings to the Royal Scottish Academy that his work came to public attention. Two years later, he exhibited at the Summer Exhibition at the RA in London where his work sold out on the first day. Since that point he has dedicated himself to his art. Vettriano’s work is synonymous not only with his painted works but in their printed renditions. The Singing Butler, a painting produced in 1992, has been the best-selling printed image in the UK and the original sold at auction in 2007 for just under £750,000. The unending appeal of Vettriano’s work lies perhaps in less what the painting depicts than in the hidden narrative which always accompanies his paintings. The viewer is invited to imagine the story behind the characters that he paints. As with a compelling romantic novel, we are transported into a world of love affairs, jealousy, attraction and betrayal. λ Indicates that this lot may be subject to Droit de Suite royalty charges.

Born in Berlin to Dutch parents, Citroen started drawing at an early age. Encouraged by his parents he first studied photography under Edwin Blumenfeld and later fine art at the Bauhaus under Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky and Johannes Itten. It was during this time that Citroen started work on his photo-montage Metropolis, 1923, perhaps the artist’s best known work and inspiration for Fritz Lang’s film of the same title. After a brief sojourn to Paris and Switzerland, Citroen moved to Amsterdam where he held his first exhibition of photographs in 1927 and for the following eight years photography would be his focus. Later in his career Citroen turned to painting, more specifically portraiture, noting: Because I am a portraitist, people are more important than art. Without people there would be no art. Drawing many important Dutch personalities such as Gerrit Kouwenaar (1967), K. Schippers (1971), Peter Vos (1974) and Liesbeth List (1979), the artist produced over 7000 portraits before his death in 1983. λ Indicates that this lot may be subject to Droit de Suite royalty charges.
