Description

Keep Your Cool captures a moment of brilliant leisure innovation as two cultured figures engage in strategic backgammon while seated on submerged white plastic chairs in the luminous blue-green waters of Acapulco's most coveted resort setting. Slim Aarons portrays Broadway actress Carmen Alvarez in her elegant white halter bikini and renowned hotelier Frank 'Brandy' Brandstetter sporting his distinctive straw boater hat with its patterned band, both completely absorbed in their game on an ingenious floating backgammon board positioned perfectly between them in the refreshing chest-deep water.

This remarkable 1978 photograph showcases the inventive luxury of Las Brisas resort, where intellectual pursuits met aquatic pleasure in the most unexpected and delightful ways imaginable. The brilliant Mexican midday sun creates mesmerizing rippling patterns across the inviting pool water, while Alvarez's manicured hand hovers mid-move over the contrasting game pieces and Brandstetter's gold chain necklace catches the warm tropical light. Keep Your Cool brings this playful sophistication directly into your personal space, easily bringing new life to any room as a genuine sanctuary of creative leisure and inspired daily entertainment.

Here, Slim Aarons captured far more than simple poolside recreation, as he preserved the remarkable convergence of Broadway glamour and international hospitality expertise at the absolute peak of Acapulco's legendary era. Everyone will immediately recognize this authentic celebration of unconventional luxury, where the resort's famous floating game tables became legendary among the urbane jet-set elite who made Las Brisas their most cherished and private paradise destination.

Available in premium photo lustre or classic matte finish, professionally framed in sleek black, crisp white, or warm natural wood options.
