Actually Jack Vance has been writting since the fifities, until 2005-6 when at the age of ~90 and almost blind still wrote a novel Lurulu the continuation of his Ports of Call (early 00's).
I have read and enjoyed quite a lot of his books, especially his Gaean Reach ones (Demon Kings, Cadwal Chronicles, Night Lamp, Alastor and several others) and because of his baroque and leisurely style he is one of the SF authors that does not date easily.
