#2058 - Horst P. Horst

Horst is staying at the glorious Hotel Excelsior in Rome.His room is above the inner courtyard.He wakes up and looks out the window and this is what he sees.“The morning after the night before”Most photographers would photograph the party itself.But Horst was no ordinary photographer . He sensed that the joy and energy of the event could be better conveyed in this subtle and poetic way. A testament to his extraordinary talent.

Happy Birthday Horst! Your work is eternal!
