(German, 1909-1999). Horst is one of the most celebrated photographers in the history of Vogue magazine. Born Horst Paul Albert Bohrmann in Germany, he apprenticed in Paris under Le Corbusier and got his start at Vogue after meeting photographer Baron George Hoyningen-Huene and, later, Cecil Beaton. He worked at Vogue's Paris studio and then New York. A Horst photo is known for dramatic lighting and imaginative props and sets. His photographs of calmly elegant women are among the most recognizable fashion photographs in the world- his image of a model seen from behind with her Mainbocher corset unraveling is an icon of modern photography. In the 1940s he began shooting interiors for House & Garden as well as continuing his fashion work. The first exhibition of his work took place in Paris in 1932. Since then it has been featured in a number of exhibitions including large shows at the Sonnabend Gallery, the International Center of Photography, the Victoria & Albert Museum, Staley Wise Gallery, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the National Portrait Gallery, London.

The premium photographic print is digitally printed on high-gloss premium photographic paper. The result is a unique silver pearlescent finish with stunning visual impact and depth, suitable for museum or gallery display.
The stretched canvas print is the result of sophisticated digital printing technology in which the image is printed directly onto an artist-grade, 100% cotton canvas. The canvas is then expertly stretched around 1.5" wooden bars and carefully finished with hand-painted edges. An acrylic coating protects the stunning giclée print from dust, moisture and fading.
