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 Arte Povera?
A movement and style in art that originated in Italy during the 1960s. It integrates elements of minimalism, performance art, and conceptual art by using everyday or seemingly worthless materials, such as newspapers, stones, or rags. The goal was to challenge and subvert the commercialization of art.
