Description
Poolside Gathering captures the pinnacle of Palm Springs glamour at Richard Neutra's modernist Kaufmann Desert House, photographed in January 1970. Thirteen impeccably dressed figures animate the scene, with eleven conversing poolside and two gliding through azure waters. The striking yellow umbrella with scalloped fringe commands attention as the focal point, while matching wire mesh chairs reinforce the cohesive color story. Slim Aarons conveyed this exceptional afternoon at Nelda Linsk's desert retreat, where actress Lita Baron and model Helen Dzo Dzo mingled beneath California sunshine, the San Jacinto Mountains rising dramatically behind.
This exceptional print brings architectural refinement and social grace into your living space. Your circle will immediately recognize the scene's refined aesthetic, appreciating how Poolside Gathering elevates any interior with its masterful composition. Neutra's grey vertical siding and clean geometric lines provide the perfect modernist backdrop, while coral swim trunks, green patterned shirts, and Nelda's vibrant yellow dress add splashes of vivid color around the rectangular pool. The image positions you among those who truly understand that luxury means capturing perfect moments rather than accumulating mere possessions.
More than decoration, this photograph connects you to California's remarkable time of entertaining at its absolute zenith. Slim Aarons preserved an era when exceptional gatherings were intimate affairs among cultural tastemakers who shaped society. Palm trees frame the composition while the distinctive external staircase adds architectural drama, creating a scene that speaks directly to connoisseurs of both design excellence and elevated living.
Available in lustrous photo finish or urbane matte, professionally framed in black, white, or natural wood to perfectly complement your personal space and interior vision.
