Contemporary ArtstoryLouis J. C. Tan was an ‘old school’ collects or who spent decades seeking out individual artworks of impeccable quality. Each piece in the present sequence of works is visually arresting, intellectually stimulating and emotionally engaging; while many count among the finest examples of their artists’ oeuvres. Discrete and exacting, Tan travelled the world to acquire them and – in their appreciation – we understand something of his extraordinary taste and unstinting vision.Tan’s architectural training in Britain shaped his love of draughtsmanship and afforded him an inherent appreciation for the qualities of line. Thus, his collects ion includes drawings from across the centuries; delicate watercolours by R.P. Bonnington, haunting Shelter Drawings by Henry Moore, and explosive works on paper by Jean-Michael Basquiat.From his home in West London, he developed a learned and passionate interest in British art, with many important figures from the 20th century represented in these works. This collects ion is led by an immensely significant early work by David Hockney – Different Kinds of Water Pouring into a Swimming pool, Santa Monica – which acts as a direct precursor to the artist’s celebrated pool paintings. Created in 1965, the painting marks a watershed moment in Hockney’s career, and the beginning of his long-held fascination with California as a subject matter.

American ArtslideshowWhen Madame de Pompadour, chief mistress to Louis XV, had her portrait painted by Rococo master François Boucher in 1756, the choice was made that she be sumptuously reclined with an opened book in her lap — a discerning artistic trope that indicated her intellectual accomplishments as a patron of the arts and letters. In that and innumerable other paintings, books have appeared as signs of erudition in portraits, as symbols of piety in religious work, and, after the invention of the printing press, as emblems of a rising mercantile class in still lifes and genre scenes. Replica Shoes ’s upcoming American Art sale (6 March) includes a number of paintings of figure enraptured in reading and writing .

Contemporary ArtslideshowSalvador Dalí once mused, “We are all hungry and thirsty for concrete images. Abstract art will have been good for one thing: to restore its exact virginity to figurative art.” Though figurative modes of painting were repeatedly declared "dead" throughout the abstraction-enthused decades of the 20th century — such imagery instead found new and exciting forms in the inventive work of artists including Alice Neel and Wayne Thiebaud. In recent years, figurative art has seen a remarkable resurgence in the acclaimed practices of artists such as Kerry James Marshall and Toyin Ojih Odutola.
