Artist Highlight
SLIM AARONS
Stunning photographic prints from famed photographer to the stars Slim Aarons, who captured the lifestyles of the rich and famous throughout the 1950's, 60's and 70's.
Slim Aarons (born George Allen Aarons in 1916) was an American photographer noted for his images of socialites, jet-setters and celebrities. His work primarily appeared in magazines such as Life, Town & Country, and Holiday.
Aarons never used a stylist, or a makeup artist. He made his career out of what he called “photographing attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places.” An oft-cited example of this approach is his 1970 Poolside Gossip shot at the Kaufmann Desert House designed by Richard Neutra, with owner Nelda Linsk as one of the models in the photo. "I knew everyone," he said in an interview, “They would invite me to one of their parties because they knew I wouldn't hurt them. I was one of them.”
In 1997, Mark Getty, the co-founder of Getty Images, visited Aarons in his home and bought Aarons' entire archive.
