JOSEP RENAU-MONTORO LAS ARENAS. Circa 1932.
39 1/4x27 inches. Graficas Valencia, Seville.
Condition B+: creases through top of image; repaired tears at edges.
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-flourescent green glowing from the bottom of the poster and bathing the figure and the diving platform with its light. Voyage p. 66, Weill 490.
