About the Item
This captivating black-and-white photograph, titled Mainbocher Corset by Horst P. Horst, masterfully blends elegance and geometry. The composition features a woman seen from behind, seated gracefully, her body turned in a gentle twist. Her spine, framed by the intricate lacing of a luxurious corset, is highlighted in exquisite detail. The play of light and shadow creates striking contrasts, emphasizing the softness of her skin against the stark rigidity of the corset. The deliberate positioning on a simple bench further accentuates the dramatic pose. Intimate yet powerful, this artwork explores themes of beauty, femininity, and restraint, encapsulating the essence of 1930s fashion photography with timeless allure. Horst’s ability to capture the interplay of form and texture cements this piece as an iconic representation of elegance and style.

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.”
