Over the course of a career lasting half a century, Slim Aarons (1916-2006) portrayed high society, aristocracy, authors, artists, business icons, the celebrated and their milieu. In doing so, he captured a golden age of wealth, privilege, beauty and leisure that occurred alongside—but quite separate from—the cultural and political backdrop of the second half of the Twentieth Century.

From a recent Vogue article on the photography of Slim Aarons: "Facing Lake Como, Villa d'Este is one of the most beautiful hotels in Italy. A palazzo bordered by an enchanting garden teeming with lemon trees, the place was immortalized in cinema by Alfred Hitchcock. A little Italian paradise, visitors enjoy the lakeside pool, tennis courts, and dining terraces to try the greatest Italian specialities… All in all, la dolce vita."

Catherine Wilke, Capri, Slim Aarons Estate Edition, classic vibrant photograph
By Slim Aarons
Located in Los Angeles, CA
'Catherine Wilke' is a vibrant, genuine Slim Aarons estate edition photograph. Numbered and stamped by the Slim Aarons Estate. Certificate of Authenticity included.
Discover the epitome of leisurely sophistication with Slim Aarons' stunning photograph from 1980, showcasing the quintessence of laid-back luxury at the illustrious Hotel Punta Tragara in Capri.
In this masterful composition, Catherine Wilke epitomizes the serene joy of sunny European leisure, gracefully strolling with a fresh coconut beverage amidst an array of topless sun worshippers basking under the Mediterranean sun. This evocative scene is a harmonious blend of natural beauty and human allure, with the glittering turquoise sea forming the perfect backdrop to a tableau of relaxation and style.
In addition to Catherine, this scene captures Elisabetta Catalano, Charlotte Ticken, and Pamela Grupas, each contributing to the canvas of vintage elegance in their vibrant red and blue swimsuits paired with timeless straw sunhats. Their repose on the crisp white linens laid upon the geometrically arranged sunbathing beds underlines the meticulous composition that Aarons was renowned for.
This image is a visual symphony, where the architectural lines of the sunbathing terrace intersect with the soft curves of the relaxed figures, crafting a scene that captures the essence of the high life without pretense. It is Slim Aarons' invitation to step into a world where the glamour of the past converges with the timelessness of pure enjoyment.
Perfect for connoisseurs of fine art photography, enthusiasts of vintage fashion, and collectors seeking to add a touch of retro-chic allure to their walls, this photograph is more than just a visual treat—it's a passport to the golden age of jet-set elegance. Secure your slice of history and invite the spirit of Capri's golden days into your home or collection with this iconic Slim Aarons masterpiece.

Aarons began his career as a combat photographer in World War II. Though he earned a Purple Heart for his service, he declared that combat had taught him that the only beach worth landing on was decorated with beautiful people enjoying themselves in the sun. He was born and raised in New York City and New Jersey and later New Hampshire. He took up photography as a teenager. At the age of eighteen, he enlisted in the U. S. Army and was later appointed official photographer at the United States Military Academy at West Point. During World War II he served as an army combat photographer for Yank magazine in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. After the war he became a freelance photojournalist, first based in Hollywood, then Rome, then New York. His photographs appeared in many magazines, including Life, Holiday, Town & Country, Look, Venture, and Travel & Leisure. His first book A Wonderful Time (1974) is considered a classic.
