An Incredible Life: Horst P. Horst at SCAD FASH By Isadora Pennington Inside the gallery of the SCAD FASH museum in Midtown, an incredible array of large photographs line the dark walls. This exhibition, Essence of the Times, showcases over 80 works by the internationally renowned late fashion photographer Horst P. Horst that spanned his career from the 1930s through the 1990s. Originally born in Germany in 1906, Horst graduated from college and found his way to Paris where he studied under famed architect Le Corbusier. In 1930 Horst met, befriended, and started a relationship with Vogue photographer Baron George Hoyningen-Huene. He would occasionally pose for Hoyningen- Huene and assisted him on shoots. Together, the pair traveled to England and met Cecil Beaton, one of the photographers who worked with British Vogue. Inspired, he began an association with Vogue and published his first full-page ad for a perfume company later that year. The first gallery exhibition of his works opened at La Plume d’Or in Paris in 1932 and the reception quickly elevated him to a position of fame and esteem. His background in architecture and passion for arts, in particular surrealism, helped to elevate his work from purely commercial to true arts.
