Biography:

Horst P. Horst (born Horst Paul Albert Bormann; August 14, 1906 – November 18, 1999) was a German-American fashion photographer. He studied architecture in Hamburg and apprenticed in Le Corbusier's studio in Paris in 1930. In the late 1920s, he met dancer Evan Weidemann at the home of his aunt, and this aroused his interest in avant-garde art. Horst began his association with Vogue, publishing his first photograph in French Vogue in December 1931. He became a close friend and lover of Baron George Hoyningen-Huene, a half-Baltic, half-American nobleman and photographer for Vogue. In 1941, he became a U.S. citizen and continued to work as a fashion photographer until his death in 1999.
