“I don’t think photography has anything remotely to do with the brain. It has to do with eye appeal.”~ Horst P. Horst Horst first apprenticed with Le Corbusier in Paris and one of his many “take aways” from that experience was how to architecturally construct a picture plane. He was a master of how light falls on an object and how to balance it with shadow.This is one of my favorite all time Horst images. A woman wearing white gloves holding a round object. Is she Eve tempting Adam on his birthday with an apple? The crumpled tissue paper is blocking her face and body from view. It all just adds to the elegance and mystery of this supremely beautiful image.Happy Birthday to any of our readers if this is your special day.
