“Water in swimming pools changes its look more thanin any other form... the look of swimming-pool wateris controllable - even its colour can be man-made -and its dancing rhythms reflect not only the sky but,because of its transparency, the depth of water aswell. If the water surface is almost still and there isstrong sun, then dancing lines with the colours of thespectrum appear everywhere” - David Hockney
