@@CollidePress No, I've not. I started replacing prints with original paintings about 20 years ago, so I've not bought many prints recently. I have made a few whimsical exceptions. I have two home, one with a gallery, and I have not more space for art. When I buy something new, I have to remove something.
Horst was part of so many influential circles it kind of blows my mind. There’s an interview of him from 1981 on TH-cam that is so charming. Such a humble, sweet man.
Horst was a genius of light and composition and capturing a sense of elegance in all his compositions. I can see why he would have been the darling of haute societe for decades as well as his becoming a pioneering icon of fashion photography and photography in general.
I will concur with the other statements, in regard to the lighting, composition, elegance and sophistication. Horst himself was a very good looking younger man! All the photos of people whatever their status, come off well indeed, as well as the other art designs and studies. I must confess that one of my favourites is of the filmmaker and director Luchino Visconti as a young man 8:50, with a dramatic sky in the background. What a stunning, handsome visage!!! "Hubba Hubba"!!

Fantastic photos. He truly was a wonderful artist.
Thanks, RJ! Curious if you've collected any of his prints.

Thanks for a wonderful collection of photographs. Your hard work is greatly appreciated.
Much appreciated, kind sir!
Thank you for a magnificent post. Truly moving to think of all the great lives he knew.

I completely agree. If you've never seen him speak, this 1981 interview is delightful. So humble and sweet: th-cam.com/video/Yz5S2lGL3i0/w-d-xo.html

LOVE that image. Such an unexpected way to light his face...and so imperfectly perfect!
