Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Poolscapes</i> brings together two bodies of work--<i>The Pool</i> (2002-05) and <i>Poolscapes</i> (2009-12)--by French-born, Brooklyn-based photographer Karine Laval (born 1971), both focusing on the motif of the swimming pool. Presenting public pools in urban and natural environments throughout Europe and private pools in the US in two distinct sections, the book is arranged chronologically and shows an evolution in tone and depth, from the photographic to the painterly. The <i>Pool</i> series invites us into a sun-bleached public pool at midday, evocative of childhood memories and the experience of leisure and bathing. Gradually these geometric lines and familiar architectural structures give way to the abstract, often blurred shapes and colors of the <i>Poolscapes</i> pictures that oscillate between representation and abstraction. Here the pool becomes a metaphor, a mirror whose surface reflects the surrounding world but is also a gateway into a realm where bathers are distorted and fragmented.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Shows an evolution in tone and depth, from the real to the imagined, from the photographic to the painterly.-- "The Eye of Photography"<br><br>Laval's photographs can bring a variety of emotions to the fore, but the one that stands out the most is the way it entices the reader to jump into the closest body of water.
