stamped on the backside - size: 14,6 x 21,7 cm // Martine Franck’s Swimming Pool (by Alain Capeilleres) is a striking black-and-white photograph capturing a serene moment of leisure at a modernist poolside. The composition emphasizes geometric lines and shadows created by the grid-patterned tiles, hammocks, and spherical poolside decor. Figures lie in relaxed poses, absorbed in sunbathing and quiet repose, adding a sense of calm and contemplation to the scene. Franck's use of contrast and perspective highlights the interaction between the human form and the architectural environment. Taken in 1976, this photograph exemplifies Franck’s keen eye for composition, capturing an idyllic and timeless moment that combines human presence with architectural aesthetics.

What is Nouveau Realism?
Nouveau Réalisme is an artistic movement founded in 1960 by art critic Pierre Restany and painter Yves Klein during a collective exhibition at a gallery in Milan. Restany wrote the original manifesto in April 1960, proclaiming the movement. In October of that year, nine artists, including Martial Raysse, Yves Klein, Daniel Spoerri, Jean Tinguely, Arman, Pierre Restany, and three Ultra-Lettrists—Jacques de la Villeglé, François Dufrêne, and Raymond Hains—signed the declaration. In 1961, the movement expanded to include Mimmo Rotella, Niki de Saint Phalle, Gérard Deschamps, and César. The movement emphasized a return to reality in art, often incorporating everyday objects and exploring the boundaries between art and life.
