Twisting by the pool
1960’s – Medford, Oregon, USA
In the foreground, the pool—a true symbol of leisure and relaxation—captures a simple and charming moment of life. A woman, wearing a blue swim cap, enjoys herself in the water, while a man lounges on a deck chair, soaking up the sun.
In the background, the motel buildings, with their functional architecture and immaculate cleanliness, add a touch of realism to this everyday scene. Signs advertising affiliations with “Best Western Motels” and “Diner’s Club” underscore the growing importance of brand recognition and uniformity in 1960s America.
The composition and natural tones evoke the style of Stephen Shore, a master of vernacular photography, celebrated for his ability to reveal hidden poetry in ordinary American scenes. Like Shore‘s work, this image transcends its apparent simplicity, transforming the mundane into a timeless visual testament.
From the private collection of André Robé, a passionate collector of vernacular slides from the 1950s to the 1970s, this photograph captures an era when travel was not merely about reaching a destination, but an immersive experience rooted in the aesthetics and aspirations of a rapidly growing America.
The different types of frames and finishes available
The print comes with its certificate of authenticity and a Hahnemühle hologram affixed to the back.
The framing is left to your discretion.
The floating frame, sleek and modern, is one of the preferred framing choices for contemporary art galleries and museums.
The floating frame perfectly enhances your photographic print.
The spacing between the frame and the image creates a floating effect and highlights the image, making it an ideal art frame to maximize the depth and elegance of the artworks in our collection.
The print is mounted on a 2 mm Dibond panel and placed in the frame.
The depth of the floating frame is 4 cm, and the gap between the photograph and the inner edges of the frame is 0.8 cm for black or white finishes and 1 cm for wood finishes (Oak, Wenge, etc.). This arrangement creates a visually pleasing “floating” effect. Finally, a hanging system is attached to the back of the frame for a quick, easy, and secure installation.
This classic framing combines timeless elegance and sophistication, offering a sublime presentation for your most precious artworks and photographs. A wooden or aluminum frame, chosen for its simplicity and nobility, adds a touch of authenticity and refinement to your piece.
The mat, an essential element of this ensemble, enhances the artwork by creating a visual space around it. It highlights the details and nuances while adding extra depth. Carefully selected, it perfectly complements the artwork without overwhelming it, allowing every detail to stand out.
Finally, the museum glass, of exceptional quality, provides optimal protection against harmful elements such as dust, humidity, and UV rays. With its unmatched clarity and anti-reflective properties, it ensures perfect visibility from every angle, allowing your artwork to shine without distractions.
This harmonious ensemble transforms each piece into a masterpiece, ready to be admired and preserved for generations to come. Investing in a classic frame means choosing to enhance and protect what you cherish with unparalleled distinction.
