Description

Like its predecessors, Once Upon a Time and A Place in the Sun, Poolside with Slim Aarons offers images of jet-setters and the wealthy, of beautiful, glittering people living the glamorous life. Yet this new collection of stunning photographs of the rich and well-connected “doing attractive things” in their favorite playgrounds has a new twist. The main character is pools and everything that goes with them—magnificent, suntanned bodies; well-oiled skin; bikini-clad women; yachts; summer cocktails; sumptuous buffets; spectacular locations; and most of all: fun. Poolside is not so much a Who’s Who of society, aristocracy, and celebrity—although C. Z. Guest, Lilly Pulitzer, Cheryl Tiegs, Peter Beard, and many who have appeared in the previous books are here—as it is about leisure time and how the rich make use of it. This is a more intimate peek into very private lives, to which Slim Aarons was given unprecedented access in the fifties, sixties, seventies, and eighties. From the Caribbean to Italy and Mexico to Monaco, Poolside with Slim Aarons whisks the reader away to an exclusive club where taste, style, luxury, and grandeur prevail. Also available from Slim Aarons: Slim Aarons: Women, Slim Aarons: Once Upon a Time, Slim Aarons: A Place in the Sun, and Slim Aarons: La Dolce Vita. Read more

    • pools full of gold
Poolside is a great collection. I am an enormous Aarons fan and have his two other currently in-print books. Poolside shows some of the once great, but now little known members of an international society which is now all but gone. Doinnes, gold-diggers, and scions comingle in glamorous pools wearing Cartier watches, gold bracelets, and the classic '70s look, the gold chain softly nestled in a bed of chest hair. Hermes beach towels and Vuitton bags hold vigle under umbrella tables, visited by bowtie clad waiters refreshing drinks for little sister as she flirts with a countryless prince. Whats keeps his work from being complete camp, is that it was all real. People trully lived these lives. They weren't acting for a camera, they were caught in that moment when they were just happening to be having cocktails in Jamaica with Mrs. so-and-so. My only complaint is that many of the pic.s have been previously published in prior collections and others just don't have all the impact and roundness held in the selections Aarons made for the works published in his lifetime. There are many "society" photographers. None are Slim Aarons. ... show more

    • Awesome Photography Collection!
Review Image by laidbackloner laidbackloner
I have a mid century modern living room and was looking for the perfect old school photography book. This is perfection! Highly recommend. I live in rainy Seattle so while sipping on my morning coffee I flip through the pages and dream of being by a pool somewhere in warm luxury... sigh. Great artist. Love it. ... show more

    • A must for any Slim fan
I just received this book today and while the photos are all lovely, they are not the best quality. I find some of the images blurry and mat. Some are better than others And are nice and vivid and glossy. Still looks nice on the coffee table.

    • Good book - wish there were more USA locations
Good photography book highlighting the good life of the wealthy around their swimming pools. It's actually very relaxing looking at the beautiful scenery. Good coffee table book.

    • A lesson for the aspiring photojournalist
True lovers of good photojournalism know there's more to being a witness than endless photos of the abused, the oppressed, and the doomed. The world's one-percenters need love too. Poolside with Slim Aarons shows a lifestyle of sun, alcohol, and implicit easy sex in the days before nautilus workouts and Hair Club for men. I hope those guys took good care of those Rolex watches cause now they're worth a ton on eBay! ... show more
