Artist Bio:
Horst P. Horst (1906–1999) was a German-born fashion and portrait photographer known for his pioneering work in the 1930s and beyond, creating elegant, sculptural, and glamorous images using dramatic lighting. Originally an architecture student who worked with Le Corbusier, Horst transitioned to photography, becoming a key photographer for Vogue. He developed a distinctive style characterized by classical compositions and the masterful use of light, which became a gold standard in the field. Horst became an American citizen during World War II, changing his name to avoid association with a Nazi official. His career, which spanned over 60 years, included numerous Vogue covers, documentary travel, and celebrity lifestyle photography, and his work continues to influence photographers today.

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.”
