Le Yack - The Diver - Hand signed

Atop a Art Deco diving board with geometric lines, a swimmer arches her back, arms stretched toward the sky, in the exact instant before the launch. The dark swimsuit and the light cap stand out against a deep, radiant blue, the entire body taut toward the invisible water. Le Yack captures here the “open moment,” that suspended instant when everything tilts, in a smooth, luminous realism inspired by American art. The streamlined architecture of the diving board grounds the scene in the elegance of the 1930s.
