“I’m more interested in what’s beautiful in the world than what’s disastrous, perhaps because I came from a disastrous country when I was young.”~ Horst P. Horst Horst created images that transcend fashion and time. He was a master of light, composition and atmosphere. He created such worlds of sensual sophistication over an extraordinary sixty year plus career. His magical images graced the pages of “Vogue” and “House and Garden”.He ranks alongside Irving Penn and Richard Avedon and Lillian Bassman as one of the preeminent fashion and portrait photographers of the 20th Century.What never ceases to amaze me is that he took this image at the age of 81 years old, still as forceful and vibrant as he was in the 1930’s.He never lost his magic touch.
