Le Yack (1972) - Life: A User's Manual - Hand-signed

Zenithal, radical Vue: a checkerboard of pale tiles, four large striped sunshades in aqua green and cream with tassel pompoms, their midnight-blue shadows carved with a knife, and seven bathers scattered across white and pale-blue sun loungers. Naked or nearly so — only one wears a red bikini, another curls around itself — they sleep, stretch, fold themselves: seven declensions of abandonment. Semantically, vertical diving abolishes frontal gaze and turns desire into geometry: bodies become motifs, sensuality a matter of rhythm and interval. The shade counts as much as the flesh. The contrast between the deep blue of the shadows, the almond green of the parasols, and the golden sand of the skin builds an almost abstract harmony. Clean craftsmanship, restrained impasto, tapestry-like composition.
