Horst P. Horst ranked alongside Irving Penn and Richard Avedon as one of the last century’s leading photographers. In an extraordinary sixty-year career, Horst’s photographs graced the pages of Vogue and House and Garden and he became renowned as a master of expressive lighting and atmospheric illusion.
In honor of Horst’s unique and iconic approach to photography we present our #InspiredByHorst image contest, a complement to our current exhibition, Horst: Photographs – Fashion and Surrealism. This contest gives viewers an opportunity to reinterpret some of Horst’s most legendary captures.
