Abstract

"The mixed-race Hawaiian athlete George Freeth brought surfing to Venice, California, in 1907. Over the next twelve years, Freeth taught Southern Californians to surf and swim while creating a modern lifeguard service that transformed the beach into a destination for fun, leisure, and excitement. Patrick Moser places Freeth's inspiring life story against the rise of the Southern California beach culture he helped shape and define. Freeth made headlines with his rescue of seven fishermen, an act of heroism that highlighted his innovative lifeguarding techniques. But he also founded California's first surf club and coached both male and female athletes, including Olympic swimming champion and "father of modern surfing" Duke Kahanamoku. Often in financial straits, Freeth persevered as a teacher and lifeguarding pioneer--building a legacy that endured long after his death during the 1919 influenza pandemic. A compelling merger of biography and sports history, Surf and Rescue brings to light the forgotten figure whose novel way of seeing the beach sparked the imaginations of people around the world"--

Abstract

En 1964, Erling Mandelmann réalise une série de photographies de la Villa « Le Lac » de Le Corbusier pour Mobilia, prestigieux magazine danois de design, intérieur et architecture. Le locataire de la Villa, à ce moment-là, n’est autre que le musicien Albert Jeanneret, le frère de Le Corbusier. De la rencontre d’Erling Mandelmann et d’Albert Jeanneret naîtra une belle amitié. Le photographe et le musicien se retrouvent fréquemment dans la « Petite Maison » de l’architecte – notamment pour une seconde série de photos, en 1965, où l’on découvre Albert Jeanneret enseignant la rythmique à ses élèves. Outre leur intérêt artistique et documentaire, ces photographies permettent de voir comment se présentait la Villa « Le Lac » lorsqu’elle était habitée. Pénétrer dans l’intimité d’Albert Jeanneret, c’est pénétrer dans l’intimité de la pensée architecturale de Le Corbusier et de l’une de ses premières « machines à habiter ».
