A Beautiful World - Photographs by Slim Aarons
4 - 21 March, 2015

This exhibition for sale showcases the works of American photographer Slim Aarons (1916 - 2006), best known for his work photographing the American aristocracy and celebrities of Hollywood. Aarons enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1941 and became a combat photographer during the Second World War. Aarons returned to America after the war finished and, having witnessed the grim reality of conflict, decided to concentrate on photographing the colourful, sun-dazed glamour of celebrities, jetsetters, and socialites. Aarons’ work is admired for his brilliant use of natural light and innate understanding of great composition. His work has been included in numerous publications worldwide including Town and Country, Holiday, Vogue and LIFE.
