1940
About the Item
Although credited by their married names at the time of publication, both subjects would re-marry and became better known as Babe Paley, the stylish socialite and “swan” of Truman Capote, and Marietta Peabody Tree, a United States Representative to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights and mother of historian Frances FitzGerald and model Penelope Tree.
Horst posed them both in Spanish couturier Balenciaga’s reinterpretation of the “montera” hats commonly worn by bullfighters, along with an enlarged reproduction of Francisco Goya’s Otra locura suya en la misma plaza (Another Madness of his in the Same Ring) (click here). This etching was part of a series of 33 works called La Tauromaquia (The Art of Bullfighting) produced between 1746 and 1828 and has been understood as a satire directed against what Enlightenment thinkers saw as a barbaric form of entertainment.

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.”

Mats Gustafson (illustrator) and Linda Evangelista in Christian Lacroix
By Patrick Demarchelier
Located in New York, NY
“Linda has slanted, almond-shaped eyes, extremely beautiful nostrils that tilt another way, and a mouth that angled in a third direction – femininity combined with strength, womanliness mixed with girlishness. I think this why we all respond so much to Linda – we read into her face all those received charismatic images. With these images and all the preexisting pictures of Linda in the back of my mind, I found it easy to distill her features to a very simple form.”

“This image probably owes some of its inspiration to the abnormal characters in the stories of Flannery O’Connor’s 1955 collection, "A Good Man is Hard to Find." But Meatyard was also looking at Giorgio de Chirico and the European Surrealists and here employs their penchant for the lifeless mannequin figure. A headless dressmaker’s dummy...
