JOSEP RENAU-MONTORO (1907-1982) LAS ARENAS. Circa 1932.
39 1/4x27 inches. Graficas Valencia, Seville.
Condition A-: creases and minor time-staining in margins; minor restoration in top margin and image.
A striking, modernist design for an illuminated swimming pool in which, curiously, the swimming pool itself isn't pictured. Instead, Renau focuses his attention on the pool's luminosity, which he represents by a near-fluorescent green glowing from the bottom of the poster and bathing the figure and the diving platform with its light. Voyage p. 66, Weill 490.
