Biography provided by Focal press
 
Horst's fashion career, spanning almost six decades with Condé Nast, began in 1931 as George Hoyningen-Huene's protégé. Best known for his classical images of fashion models and fashionable figures posed in dramatic, often Greek inspired settings, Horst established a pre-war savoir-faire style of sophisticated posing where elegance and manners counted. His dramatic mastery of studio lighting gave his subjects a timeless, statuesque quality, swathing them with a glowing patina of the glamorous ideal.
