Description
Until now one has investigated the swimming pool as a quintessentially modern and American space, reflecting America's infatuation with hygiene, skin and recreation. Thomas van Leeuwen looks at a familiar role - the domestic swimming pool - and discovers an icon indespensable to the reading of twentieth-century modernism.
