The late photographer Aarons, born George Aarons, is best known for giving a rare glimpse of the luxury lifestyles of the rich and famous during the twentieth century.

He developed his skills while working as a combat photographer in World War II, before moving to California to fulfil his ambition to document "attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places".

Among the photographs in Fine Art America's collection are those that he took while on assignment for the likes of Holiday, LIFE, Vogue and Town & Country, which enabled him to travel the world.

This includes some of Aaron's most famous and recognisable photos captured of people at poolside, such as the Poolside Glamour that was taken in 1970.

Framed prints of Poolside Glamour and Eden-Roc Pool

Poolside Glamour documents the wife and friends of American businessman Edgar Kaufmann at his desert house in Palm Springs, which was designed by American-Austrian architect Richard Neutra.

Other examples include the 1960s Penthouse Pool, a photo of young women at the poolside of a luxury apartment in Athens, and Sea Drive, an image of film producer Kevin McClory and his family driving an Amphicar – an amphibious classic car.

Each photo can be purchased as a canvas print, metal print, acrylic print, wood print or poster. Fine Art America has also made them available with various framing options in seven different colours, ensuring the photo's mount echoes the shapes and furnishings of the room in which it will be used.

Fine Art America is the "world's largest art marketplace and print-on-demand technology company", founded in 2006.

While making the works of leading photographers and brands available to purchase, the company also helps emerging artists sell wall art, home decor and apparel.
