About the Item
Signed, titled, & dated in pencil on print verso; Embossed with artist's signature on recto
Paper 11 x 14 inches; Image 9 1/4 x 11 1/2 inches
Horst P. Horst was one of the leading figures of 20th century fashion photography. Horst began his photography career in 1931 working for Paris Vogue. Shortly after he succeeded his friend and mentor, George Hoyningen-Huene, as head photographer of Vogue's photo studios. It was during the interwar years that Horst established his trademark style, which incorporated dramatic lighting and an unparalleled eye for grace that enabled Horst to create images that portray his subjects as emblems of elegance. In this black-and-white platinum print, Horst captured two women, resting on the ground and the other kneeling beside her. They are clothed in simple white garments, which beautifully contrast their dark lips and hair. Both women emanate an undeniable sense of elegance and leisure. Horst’s experimentation with radical composition and the female form engulfed his work with an air of mystery, allowing his photographs to beautifully transport viewers into an aspirational world.

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.”
