The photographer's finest and most representative work over a lifetime of indefatigable work, immense success, and international fame in one handsome and accessible volume. The most famous disciple and lifetime companion of George Hoyningen-Huene (perhaps the single most important and influential lifestyle and fashion photographer of the 20th century), Horst himself quickly became world-famous as the man who refined and perfected the Vogue Look. Horst was a restless photographer, who tried his hand at just about everything: Fashion, still life, male and female nudes, celebrity portraits, travel, lifestyle, even landmark and architecture. He will be remembered for having produced masterpieces in all of them. Among the portraits he took, the list is staggering and surely owes in part to the fact that he was himself a handsome and charming man of the world: Coco Chanel (one of his iconic portraits), Lisa Fonssagrives (the muse-wife of Irving Penn), Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Ginger Rogers, Luchino Visconti, Barbara Hutton, Noel Coward, Henri Cartier-Bresson (a brilliant portrait of the camera-shy photographer), Salvador Dali, Gertrude Stein, Jose Clemente Orozco, Jean Cocteau, Jean Marais, Jacqueline Kennedy and Princess Lee Radziwill (together in a lovely duo portrait), Paloma Picasso, Brooke Shields, Robert Wilson, Truman Capote, Tom Wolfe, Duran Duran, Bianca Jagger, Andy Warhol, Diana Vreeland (her signature portrait), Bruce Weber, Karl Lagerfeld, Calvin Klein, and Yves Saint Laurent, among countless others, a remarkable confluence of the leading figures in society, the arts, literature, fashion, and photography, High and Low. At his very best, Horst was simply the best. An absolute "must-have" title for Horst collectors. This title is a great collection.
