Description

Poolside Backgammon captures the essence of leisure at Villa Nirvana in Las Brisas, where two women in vibrant yellow and coral bikinis lie prone on sun-warmed marble, absorbed in their ancient game while seven elegantly dressed figures socialize beneath the modernist pavilion's distinctive cylindrical columns. Slim Aarons preserved this February 1972 scene at Oscar Obregon's hillside estate, where Acapulco's jet set gathered to perfect the art of doing nothing with extraordinary style. The kidney-shaped pool shimmers with brilliant cerulean water, its curved edges reflecting the intense Mexican midday sun.

Discerning guests will immediately recognize this iconic moment from the halcyon days when Hollywood royalty made Las Brisas their playground, understanding its cultural significance at first glance. This print brings instant prestige to your carefully curated walls, turning your home into a destination of cultivated leisure. Poolside Backgammon elevates your daily experience, where the pink beach bag beside the players and the patterned sun hat visible in the frame speak to afternoons when time moved differently. Your living space becomes the stage for refined gatherings inspired by the marble pool deck with its decorative inlays.

This captures more than a game between connoisseurs; it embodies the apex of resort culture when Slim Aarons found attractive people doing attractive things in the world's most attractive places. Brilliant sunlight creates sharp shadows across the terrace while hillside villas cascade up the mountain behind the white pavilion, each home a testament to when Acapulco rivaled the French Riviera.

Available in photo lustre or matte finish, professionally framed in black, white, or natural wood. Your home deserves this window into an era of effortless glamour where every detail speaks to impeccable taste. Make every gathering an occasion deserving documentation in your own sanctuary of style. Enrich your space today.
