Slim Aarons’ Poolside Gossip (1970) stands as one of the most celebrated images of 20th-century photography. Set at the Kaufmann Desert House in Palm Springs — a mid-century architectural gem designed by Richard Neutra for Edgar J. Kaufmann — the photograph features Nelda Linsk in a yellow dress speaking with Helen Dzo Dzo, while Lita Baron approaches from the background. Aarons masterfully captures the timeless elegance, architectural sophistication, and effortless leisure of California’s golden age, making this image the very definition of his signature style: “attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places.”
