The Pool—Deal Possibly 1910 - 1911

"The Pool—Deal" is a 1910-1911 photograph by Alfred Stieglitz, a prominent figure in American modernism. The photo captures a moment at a swimming pool in Deal, New Jersey, showcasing a group of bathers on a diving platform and slide. Stieglitz’s keen eye for composition, particularly the diagonal lines of the slide, and his use of natural light, create a dynamic and evocative portrayal of the scene. This work exemplifies Stieglitz's exploration of everyday life and his commitment to photographic realism.
