Backyard Oasis

Part of the Getty Foundation’s Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A., 1945-1980 regional initiative, Backyard Oasis examines swimming pools in photographs from 1945 to 1982 as visual analogs of the ideals and expectations associated with Southern California.
As a private setting, the backyard pool became a stage for sub-culture rituals and clandestine desires.
At the Palm Springs Art Museum.

That first pool is amazing! We have been looking at pool companies in PA to see if we can find a design that we like. Thanks so much for sharing these couple of ideas.
