A compact survey of the photographer Frank Horvat, best known for
his fashion photography published between the mid 1950s and the
late 1980s. Frank Horvat (1928-2020) changed the course of fashion
photography forever. The Italian-born photographer made his debut
as a photojournalist in France, where he continued to live and work
for the rest of his life. It was here he met Henri Cartier-Bresson,
who encouraged him to continue his marvellous photojournalism. By
the mid-1950s Horvat was collaborating with the biggest fashion
magazines in the world, such as Elle, Vogue and Jardin des Modes -
revolutionizing fashion photography through a more realistic lens,
photographing models on the streets, in the squares and alongside
the locals of post-war Europe. Horvat's fresh and often imitated
style, which brought reportage techniques and the 35mm film camera
to the forefront of fashion photography, impressed designers and
inspired fashion photographers for generations to come. Frank
Horvat's work can now be found in permanent collections in
prestigious institutions around the world, including The Museum of
Modern Art in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. With a
foreword by Virginie Chardin, this title in the renowned Photofile
series exhibits Horvat's photographic opus through sixty full-page
reproductions in a handsome and collectible pocket format.
