ABOUT THE ARTIST

George 'Slim' Aarons, a WWII army photographer, returned from the war with a mission of this own: to photograph "attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places." From 1947 to 1993, on assignment for Holiday, LIFE, Vogue and Town & Country, he traveled the world documenting the rich and famous at home and play. Slim's iconic photographs, the best of which are gathered here, provide a rare glimpse into a golden age of wealth, privilege, beauty, and leisure.

The Getty Images Archive is without equal. Built on the foundation of the legendary Hulton Archive, the range of subjects found within the Archive’s 4,000 collections parallel the broader human experience. As the official gallery of Getty Images and the home of the entire Slim Aarons Archive, Getty Images Gallery has unique access to one of the most sought-after photography collections in the world.

Avery ★★★★★

I was a bit worried the matting would feel cheap, but it's a crisp, clean white that makes the vintage surf photo really pop. The 1965 composition is so well-balanced that it draws you right into that Newport summer.

John ★★★★★

The 1965 Newport beach scene looks even better in person, and the white matting gives it a clean, gallery-like feel against my gray wall. Hung it above the couch and the vintage surf vibe fits the room perfectly.

Eva P. ★★★★★

The white matting really makes the surfers pop against the pale sand and water. Bought it as a gift for my brother and he hung it in his beach house the same weekend. The 1965 Newport setting feels like a little time capsule.
