ABOUT THE ART
Perhaps the most iconic of all Slim Aarons prints, Poolside Gossip has ingrained itself into popular culture, becoming an everlasting symbol of style and modernism.
This artwork features actress Lita Baron approaching Nelda Linsk (right, in a popping sunflower yellow outfit) and her friend, Helen Dzo Dzo Kaptur (whose stark white lace pants and top bring the photo together) at Nelda's Palm Springs home on January 22nd, 1970.
As with most of his works, this Poolside Gossip is symbolic of the laissez-faire lifestyle of 1960s Mad Men era, featuring mid-century modern architecture and the popular mid-century fashions of the time.
George 'Slim' Aarons once notably said he loved to photograph beautiful people in beautiful places doing beautiful things. In recent years, the influence of his work has been increasingly acknowledged and he is now regarded as one of the most influential photographers of his generation.
