Lifeguard Art

Lifeguard Art Images mostly from Lifeguard competitions for wall art in different media. They are the beach’s royalty. "
-Clifford White

"There is a mist surrounding memories of summer at the beach, the action blurred by the static of sand or the waves’ unrest. Most mysterious of all to the average beachgoer are the lifeguards, aloof and omnipotent. Observers can compare them to the ocean; like the sea, they possess strength, stamina and beauty. They live by an unfamiliar code and tell time by the turn of the tides. Every summer, t

he lifeguards meet to battle the sand, waves and each other for the glory of calling themselves the champions of the beach. They compete on boards, in boats and alone amidst the waves in races that have generational history. Enter the world of the summer lifeguards of South Jersey through the lens of Rusty Silverman; an Atlantic City-based photographer who has been capturing moments in the lives of the local lifeguards for decades. His pictures are as timeless as the endless, immortal days of summer.

Where do you spend the most time? Does the art in that room actually reflect how much time you spend there?

The spaces we use most deserve the most thought.

On my mind lately: "Swim Rescue"

There is no rule that says a collection has to be cohesive to be good.

Some of the most interesting collections I have seen are built entirely around what the person loved at the time they bought it.

"Longport Women s ACBP 2014 mod" sits in many different places, and all of them work. Let's get eclectic.
