Slim Aarons’ Poolside Interruption (1970) offers an intimate glimpse into Palm Springs’ golden age of modern leisure. Captured at Nelda Linsk’s iconic desert home — the Kaufmann Desert House designed by Richard Neutra — the image features actress Lita Baron in conversation beside the sunlit pool. Aarons’ masterful use of space and tone perfectly balances the modernist geometry of the architecture with the relaxed atmosphere of California’s elite social scene, making this one of his most quintessential Palm Springs compositions.
