Slim Aarons’ Poolside Pairs (1970) immortalizes the serene sophistication of Palm Springs’ modernist luxury. The photograph features former model Helen Dzo Dzo Kaptur in white lace and Nelda Linsk in yellow, seated beside the iconic pool of the Kaufmann Desert House — a masterpiece of modern architecture by Richard Neutra. Bathed in the California sun and framed by the San Jacinto Mountains, this composition captures Aarons’ unmatched eye for balance, beauty, and effortless leisure among the social elite of the era.
