"Horst: Photographer of Style is the type of fashion/photography
coffee table book that will continue to give new perspectives with
each reading and is a must for those who have even the slightest
interest in either of those topics...we really get to see the full
breadth of his work. This stunning and detailed overview...is about
as apt a title as one can get; it is clear, simple, and spot on. As
said, what is so wonderful here is that the reader is exposed to a
360-degree view of Horst. This is not a book that one can recommend
strongly enough because Horst may have set the bar or the platinum
standard for so many genres of photography. This is a one-volume
encyclopedia that will offer its reader everything from education
to just sheer enjoyment and pleasure." -New York Journal of Books
..".guaranteed to inspire just about every corner of your life."
-One King's Lane "Whether he was snapping the ruins of Persepolis
or haute couture chapeaus, the gravel-voiced virtuoso had no
illusions about what made his oeuvre special. 'I don't think
photography has anything remotely to do with the brain, ' said
Horst, whose romantic partnership with writer Valentine Lawford
also fueled stunning beau monde-at-home stories for Vogue. 'It has
to do with eye appeal.'" -Architectural Digest
"Horst: Photographer of Style is a richly illustrated survey of the
single-monikered image maker whose work graced the pages of Vogue
for six decades...the book is a rich history of a life spent
chronicling the intersecting worlds of art, fashion, design,
theater, Hollywood and high society." -Los Angeles Times
"Celebrating the entire career of legendary fashion photographer
Horst P. Horst, this rich illustration includes a retrospective of
the photographer's career, spanning fashion, nudes, portraiture,
interiors, and art at the Victoria and Albert Museum." -Society
Diaries "The father of fashion photography, Horst, proved the worth
of fashion photography as an art form, as evidenced by his works in
Horst: Photographer of Style. The images in this book inspired, and
will continue to inspire new generations of artists." -Document
