DescriptionOverall white background with blue rectangle of swimming pool at center, reaching from center to front edge of composition. Suspended on a diving board over the pool is a blond man wearing sunglasses and dark swimming trunks. His arms are raised with hands tucked under his head.eMuseum Notes
Levinthal
projects the carefree spirit of summer vacation with this image of man in
sunglasses and swimming trunks lying on a diving board suspended over a pool.
The unfocused treatment he gives this subject makes the protagonist indistinct,
perhaps to allow each of us to project ourselves into the picture but perhaps
also to suggest the glare and haze of a sunny day with no agenda.
