Introduction

George Allen Aarons, universally known as Slim Aarons, represents one of the most singular and fascinating figures in the history of twentieth-century photography. Globally recognized as the official chronicler of the international jet set, the European aristocracy, and the Hollywood elite, Aarons built a photographic corpus that, upon superficial reading, might appear as a mere hedonistic celebration of wealth and privilege.
