Horst P. Horst lived in a golden age and is best known for his photographs of fashion and women. In 1930, he moved from his native Germany to Paris in order to study architecture under Le Corbusier. There he met the well-heeled photographer Baron George Hoyningen-Huene, and became his photographic assistant, occasional model and lover. Horst soon broke off on his own and enjoyed a charmed life and career. Horst believed that photography was equal to other forms of visual arts, and he explored different genres and printing processes.
This is a well-known still life by Horst, printed in 1988 in a limited edition in platinum by famed printer Sal Lopes.
The full sheet size is 11 x 13 1/2 inches.
