Portraits
Selected and with an essay by Terence Pepper
Notes on plates and Chronology by Robin Muir

'Horst P. Horst was the Mario Testino of his day'
InStyle magazine

Horst Portraits celebrates the magnificent portraits of Horst P. Horst - one of the great master photographers of the twentieth century, and the creator of some of the most glamorous and stylish images in photographic history.

In his extraordinary sixty-year career, much of it working for French, British and American Vogue, Horst's distinguished portfolio of sitters included Noël Coward, Coco Chanel, Marlene Dietrich, Salvador Dalí, Katharine Hepburn, Jacqueline Kennedy, Steve McQueen, Paloma Picasso and Isabella Rosellini. This book, which includes a number of previously unknown or unpublished portraits, with full notes on both the sitters and the sittings, is an invaluable addition to studies of his work.
