Advertising Poster Photograph Exhibition P Horst

Original vintage hand signed by the photographer advertising poster for a exhibition of photographic works by the German-American fashion photographer Horst P. Horst (1906-1999), held at Hamiltons Gallery, 13 Carlos Place, Mayfair, London. Horst was one of the original pioneers of 20th Century fashion photography. His signature style is today instantly recognisable – combining portraiture and fashion with simple but essential embellishments. His photographs were the subject of a solo exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum in 2015. By the mid 1930's Horst was recognised as Vogue's primary photographer and his work - a collaboration of talent including models, art directors, fashion editors and set technicians.

Established in 1929, Mainbocher is a fashion label founded by the American couturier Main Rousseau Bocher. Condition: Excellent condition. Country of printing: UK, designer: Horst P.
