Résumé:
Although others have written eloquently on the relationship of water to built form, until now no one has investigated the swimming pool as a quintessentially modern and American space, reflecting America's infatuation with hygiene, skin, and recreation. In The Springboard in the Pond, Thomas van Leeuwen looks at a familiar hole--the domestic swimming pool--and discovers an icon indispensable to the reading of twentieth-century modernism. At one level, the book is a rereading of modern architecture that will leave that story permanently altered. At another level, it is the story of the origin and evolution of the private swimming pool as a building type and cultural artifact. At still another level, it is a material philosophy of water. Van Leeuwen explores the human relationship to water from a variety of viewpoints: social, religious, artistic, sexual, psychological, technical, and above all architectural. Throughout the book, he weaves a series of analogies to three emblematic animals--frog, swan, and penguin--that represent the three prevailing human attitudes toward water: hydrophilia, hydrophobia, and ambivalence. The books many illustrations--drawings, plans, and photographs--come from an unusual variety of sources, creating what is surely the most provocative visual archive of the swimming pool ever assembled.

Résumé:
When Claude Monet settled in Giverny in 1883, he designed a flower garden full of impressive color compositions for observing light and time. The American artist Sarah Schorr understands Monet’s garden as a creative, living laboratory. Her images in this book were inspired by the movement of water in Monet’s garden – from the tiny teardrops of rain to the steady stream feeding the water lily pond. By collecting fallen, injured flowers in Monet’s historic green spaces, Schorr transforms them into striking works of art by bringing them to life with paint, light, paper, water, and photography: experimental still lifes. "Ephemeral Field Journal" is an evocative artist’s journal in which Schorr evokes the fragility of nature and illuminates the complex interplay of climate change, beauty, and loss. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Monet’s death, the project will be exhibited internationally in 2025 and 2026.
