Poolside With Slim Aarons

Product Information

I feel kinda bad not giving this a better review and almost gave into my guilt and gave it 3 stars. After all, there are some beautiful photographs here. However, the subject bored me. Wealthy people and pools. I didn't care. I mean, I enjoy money, I like pools, and I love exotic locales but I was so uninterested in rich people vacationing in gorgeous locations, hanging out by pools. I felt I should be envying their lives but I totally don't. After the war, SLIM INSISTED—in a phrase that became his leitmotif—he’d allow himself to photograph only “ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE who were doing ATTRACTIVE THINGS in ATTRACTIVE PLACES.”

Original Artwork:In 2017, filmmaker Fritz Mitchell released a documentary about Aarons, called Slim Aarons: The High Life. [9] In the documentary it is revealed that Aarons was Jewish and grew up in conditions that were in complete contrast to what he told friends and family of his childhood. Aarons claimed that he was raised in New Hampshire, was an orphan, and had no living relations. After his death in 2006, his widow and daughter learned the truth that Aarons had grown up in a poor immigrant Yiddish-speaking family on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. As a boy his mother was diagnosed with mental health issues and admitted to a psychiatric hospital, which caused him to be passed around among relatives. He resented and had no relationship with his father and had a brother, Harry, who would later commit suicide. Several documentary interviewees postulate that if Aarons's true origins had been known, his career would have been unlikely to succeed within the restricted world of celebrity and WASP privilege his photography glamorized.
