During the 1930s Surrealism expanded outside of its radical avant-garde roots and transformed design, fashion, advertising and film. Surrealism's expansion also seeped into the photographs of Horst. Combining whimsical and surreal elements with his classical aesthetic Horst created tromp l'oeil still lifes and portraits, collaborating with Dalí and the designer Elsa Schiaparelli.
26 x 32 inches framed; 14 x 22 inches plate.
