Bemerkungen

Gutes Exemplar, Umschlag und teilweise Seitenränder etwas berieben. / Good copy, cover and some page edges slightly rubbed. - HOWARD SCHATZ In Schatz' first underwater book, Water Dance, he brought his remarkable eye as well as skill and determination to bear on the problem of energizing the human body in an essentially languid environ- ment. In Pool Light, he plumbs the depths not only of water, but of emotion, feeling, and eroticism. There is something uncanny about the photo- graph....Lithe and athletic, exquisitely real, the body seems nevertheless like something seen in a dream, weightless and rising. A provocateur of yearning. Beads of moisture cling to her skin. Could anyone so pale and perfect perspire? The drops glow, like a constellation of small, bright stars. Then you real- ize what it is that's different: the drops are bubbles; the woman is underwater. She is in a dreamscape, an object of desire, out of reach, as elusive as she is erotic. Aphrodite was born out of the sea. Howard Schatz has taken her back home. –Owen Edwards, from Introduction to Pool Light / Three years after the publication of Water Dance, the ground-breaking book of images of dancers all made under water, photographer Howard Schatz has completed work on Pool Light, a stunning new body of work which marks a whole new phase in the evolution of his unique photographic appreciation of the human form in and on the water. While the images begin by calling to mind the fluid poetry of Schatz' unique troupe of underwater dancers first seen in Water Dance, Pool Light pushes further as a photographic exploration of the beautiful human form in an aquatic environment. In this new collection of images, three years in the making, Schatz worked with models, dancers, and Olympic swimmers. The photography itself is now much broader in scope: color and black and white, realism and abstraction, a high level of energy and the drama of high fashion, a fantasy of reflections and an effervescent world of bubbles all bring a new and dynamic dimension to the previously more quiescent work which focused primarily on the magical liberation which results when a beautiful, trained body works in a gravity-less environment. This is the eighth book of photographs resulting from the unique collaboration of photographer Howard Schatz and Project Director/Editor, Beverly Ornstein. The premier exhibition of this work will be held at the SoHo Triad Fine Art Gallery in New York, opening on January 15, 1999. ISBN 9781888001471
