About the Item
This artwork masterfully captures the interplay between human form and sculptural abstraction. A pair of real feet is delicately intertwined with sculpted counterparts, forging a striking juxtaposition of vitality and stillness. The smooth, polished finish of the sculpted feet contrasts with the softer, more textured surface of the real feet, creating a captivating tension between the animate and the inanimate. Strategically placed lighting enhances the composition, casting dynamic shadows that accentuate the sculptural details and the graceful lines of the feet. The tactile quality of each element is tangible, inviting the viewer to contemplate the relationship between art and reality. The simplicity of the setting, with elements resting upon a minimalist plinth, directs focus entirely on the central theme. This work is a profound exploration of form, texture, and the convergence of life and 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.”
