Horst P Horst Signed Photograph of Coco Chanel, Platinum Palladium Print, 1937
About the Item
Title: Gabrielle Coco Chanel
Print: Platinum palladium print, printed on Strathmore cotton paper
Date: circa 1937
Signature: Signed Horst in Pencil on Recto and Vesrso
Created at the height of her fame this is one of the most beautiful photographs of Coco Chanel in which Horst reveals her gentler side. Horst's arrangement of the furnishings, fabrics and lighting creates an atmospheric silhouette, giving rise to an enigmatic Ambience, framed by her distinctive jewelry, poised with cigarette and reclining into a plush satin chair.
Horst P Horst modernized fashion photography, as an innovator of taste and a 20th century master of light it was Coco Chanel who insisted that only Horst be allowed to take her photograph. Horst confessed the first session was "a flop" but the second produced an image that was to remain Chanel's favourite.

Horst P. Horst
Horst P. Horst (born Horst Paul Albert Bohrmann) was one of the towering figures of 20th-century fashion photography.
Best known for his work with Vogue, who called him “photography’s alchemist," Horst rose to prominence in Paris in the interwar years, publishing his first work with the magazine in 1931. In the decades that followed, Horst’s experimentations with radical composition, nudity, double exposures and other avant-garde techniques would produce some of the most iconic fashion images ever, like Mainbocher Corset and Lisa with Harp (both 1939).
As the New York Times once described, “Horst tamed the avant-garde to serve fashion.” Though associated most closely with fashion photography, Horst captured portraits of many of the 20th century’s brightest luminaries, dabbling with influences as far-ranging as Surrealism and Romanticism.
“I like taking photographs because I like life,” Horst once said. “And I love photographing people best of all because most of all I love humanity.”
