Poolside Gossip
Photographed at Richard Neutra's Kaufmann Desert House in Palm Springs in 1970, Poolside Gossip is the image most closely associated with the Slim Aarons world. The house sits low against the desert mountains while three women gather around the pool in a moment of conversation.
The scene is simple, which is why it lasts. There is no dramatic gesture, no visible event, and no need for one. Architecture, sun, water, mountains, clothing, posture, and social ease do the work.
Aarons once described his work as:
Attractive people who were doing attractive things in attractive places.
Poolside Gossip gives that sentence its most famous form. The people appear perfectly at home in the setting, and the setting appears built for exactly this kind of afternoon. It is modernism not as theory, but as a way of living in light.
This work is offered as an unframed Open Edition Pigment Print, documented through Getty Images Gallery and connected to the Slim Aarons archive through its Getty Images Archive embossing and Certificate of Authenticity.
