  • David Hockney, Pool Made with Paper and Blue Ink for Book, 1980
    Artworks

    David Hockney

    Pool made with Paper and Blue Ink for Book

    "This lithograph relates to a period of experiment when Hockney was seeking means of suggesting the movement of sunlit water through various forms of stylized patterning in paintings such as 'Sunbather' (1966), 'Portrait of Nick Wilder' (1966), 'Picture of a Hollywood Swimming Pool'(1964) and 'Peter getting out of Nick's Pool' (1966) where the movement of the water is rendered as a mesh of curvilinear rhythmic lines. All these are recognized as among the artist's homoerotic masterpieces conveying the hedonistic lifestyle that typified the city of the Angels." - Lloyd Pollak

  • Tinus de Jongh

    Meiringspoort

    "The majestic landscapes of de Jongh are the most coveted at auction and for good reason. They appear as early environmentalist portals; shrouded in a mysterious joyous mood, governed by rugged rock, veiled in the vastness of wide open mountainous spaces and bedecked in biodiversity. Just as cutting-edge 21st century science is beginning to communicate the healing effect of being in nature, so these painterly portals gain ground, the effects of their figurative birdsong now being carried across the time barrier, from antique to Al." - Robyn Lidsky

  • Daniel Rakgoathe, Council of Solace, 1973

    Daniel Rakgoathe

    Council of Solace, 1973

    "Rakgoathe was a mystic philosopher and his art an exponential expression of his psychic cartography. Primarily a printmaker, his expressive, intricate linocuts spell a syncretic blend of pan-African mythologies, Khoisan folklore, mystic cosmology, quantum tendrils and collective consciousness." - Robyn Lidsky & Lloyd Pollak
