Description
Finding a Spot reveals a solitary figure claiming the perfect position at Monte Mano, where Jacques Couëlle carved the pool like a natural tide basin from Sardinian granite. The August 1973 scene unfolds at the personal villa of the architect who designed for billionaires, whose biomorphic creations attracted friends like Picasso and Dalí to this rock-hewn retreat on the Costa Smeralda. Here, a lone sunbather has discovered what dozens at crowded hotel pools never find – absolute privacy within architectural poetry, where every curve follows nature’s own blueprint.
This print brings the art of selective solitude directly into your contemporary home, proving that true luxury means choosing your moment rather than sharing it. Your guests will recognize the sophistication in displaying not another packed resort scene, but this meditation on space and stillness. Finding a Spot positions you as someone who understands that the finest experiences often involve just one person, one perfect place, and the wisdom to claim it. Each viewing reconnects you with the pleasure of unshared beauty, the relief of empty space, and the rare privilege of having nowhere else you’d rather be.
More than poolside photography, this image documents a vanishing approach to leisure – when architects carved homes from living rock and travelers sought distance from the crowd. Slim Aarons recognized the power in this scene of calculated isolation, understanding that the sculptural basin held something rarer than celebrity or spectacle. Slim Aarons captured the ultimate status symbol: enough space to be alone. This museum-quality print becomes your statement about valuing contemplation over congregation, positioning this moment of 1970s architectural appreciation as the sophisticated centerpiece your study or bedroom deserves.
Available in photo lustre or matte finish, professionally framed in black, white, or natural wood to honor the organic vision. Secure this rare glimpse into the architect’s personal domain – a moment when finding your spot meant everything. Make this corner of Sardinian solitude yours today.
