Slim Aarons A Place In the Sun

Since 1940 Slim Aarons has been hard at work; first as a war photographer; then with unprecedented access as a photographer to the rich and famous. In this gorgeous sequel to Slim Aarons-Once Upon a Time; he develops the environmental portrait to the level of art; always showing his subjects in their natural setting; in a circumstance synonymous with their station in life. He documented a particular world that is vanished. A Place in the Sun is that special glimpse of privilege under a bright and beaming sky; whether on sandy shore; snowy slope; or elegant home where cares are few. Through 250 stunning color pictures; Aarons provides a veritable who’s who of high society: Aristotle Onassis with his first wife; Tina; and their children; Christina and Alexander; C.Z. Guest at her villa in Palm Beach; the Aga Khan at his Sardinian resort; and Truman Capote in Palm Springs. From Mustique to Monaco; from Aspen to Gstaad; only Slim Aarons can take us on a journey to the most exclusive playgrounds of the rich; inspiring even the most jaded armchair traveler.
