Glamorous, seductive, and fun, made for lounging, frolicking,
splashing, dipping, diving, floating, and escaping, swimming pools
are symbols of both sport and leisure and conjure images of
well-oiled bodies, colorful bikinis, and glimmering blue waters on
hot summer days. Muse to writers, artists, photographers, and
filmmakers, the swimming pool's careless opulence is splashed
across the pages of this book in gorgeous images by contemporary
photographers. In her second book for Rizzoli, curator, writer, and
avid swimmer Lou Stoppard offers the promise of sunshine and the
seduction of youth in her edit of some of the best contemporary
swimming-pool photography. Organized by theme, from the glamour of
the poolside party to the simple, meditative pleasure of being in
the water, the selected photographs are as inspiring as they are
moving. Photographers whose images are featured in this book
include Solve Sundsbo, Glen Luchford, Inez and Vinoodh, Ryan
McGinley, Diana Markosian, Martin Parr, Martine Franck, Alex Webb,
Coco Capitan, and Nick Knight. This is the perfect gift purchase
for photography fans, swimmers, and lovers of leisure.
