About the Item
This striking black-and-white photograph captures Carmen in NY enveloped in a flowing, white gown, creating a graceful, sculptural form. Her head is elegantly tilted to the side, framed by her delicate hands which convey a sense of introspective poise. The expression on her face is calm and enigmatic, inviting viewers to ponder her thoughts. The use of light and shadow adds a dramatic depth, enhancing the texture of the fabric and the softness of her skin. The unique angle and the fluidity of the gown suggest movement, yet there is a serene stillness to her pose. This juxtaposition of motion and calm, along with the minimalist composition, creates a timeless elegance. The visual harmony and emotional resonance of this artwork provoke contemplation and admiration, making it a masterpiece of photographic art.

Horst P. Horst
Horst P. Horst (born Horst Paul Albert Bohrmann) was one of the towering figures of 20th-century fashion photography.
Best known for his work with Vogue, who called him “photography’s alchemist," Horst rose to prominence in Paris in the interwar years, publishing his first work with the magazine in 1931. In the decades that followed, Horst’s experimentations with radical composition, nudity, double exposures and other avant-garde techniques would produce some of the most iconic fashion images ever, like Mainbocher Corset and Lisa with Harp (both 1939).
As the New York Times once described, “Horst tamed the avant-garde to serve fashion.” Though associated most closely with fashion photography, Horst captured portraits of many of the 20th century’s brightest luminaries, dabbling with influences as far-ranging as Surrealism and Romanticism.
“I like taking photographs because I like life,” Horst once said. “And I love photographing people best of all because most of all I love humanity.”
