Description

A photographic leap into cooling watersThe Swimming Pool in Photography invites readers to dive into the cultural history of swimming pools.As long as 5,000 years ago, the allure of the sea inspired humans to recreate its essence in miniature artistic forms, such as public baths where ancient rituals would take place. Since then, swimming pools have become status symbols and a source for a gamut of purposes from athletics to the simple pleasure of just being in water. It is no wonder, then, that filmmakers and photographers constantly return to the swimming pool as a subject and setting.Reflections of water and light are captured in countless unique ways in the more than 200 compelling images of pools and swimmers that comprise this catalog. The Swimming Pool in Photography includes works by Henri Cartier-Bresson, Gigi Cifali, Stuart Franklin, Harry Gruyaert, Emma Hartvig, Jacques Henri Lartigue, Joel Meyerowitz, Martin Parr, Paolo Pelligrin, Mack Sennett, Alec Soth, Larry Sultan, Alex Webb and many others.

  • SUPERB book - retro cool!
LOVE this book - don’t listen to the other review. Chock full of fun retro images AND at the sale price - a great steal. Looks great on my coffee table - snagging g another for a gift.

  • Poor book quality
Very disappointed with the quality of the photos in the book. I’m not talking about the graininess from the historical photos, but the flat look of the photos
