On a trip across the Southwest, Ludwig Favre photographed a swimming pool in Phoenix in the heat of midday: water of an improbable, unmixed blue against pale stucco and a cloudless sky. The image belongs to his long pool series, made in California, Arizona, Florida and Paris, on the swimming pool as one of the most photogenic and most American of postwar inventions. Favre photographs them empty, holding the surface still, letting the color do the work.
