Dal\u00ed\/Horst.\u00a0Crossed gazes<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the late nineteen thirties, Salvador Dal\u00ed and Vogue<\/em> photographer Horst P. Horst shared locations, friends and mutual confidences. In Paris, they interacted with artists, couturiers, designers, architects and intellectuals who had a decisive impact on their respective careers and inspired them to create their own language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition invites us to explore the gaze of two creative talents who have left an indelible mark on the collective imagination and continue, even today, to influence the worlds of fashion and art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the one hand, the show presents the editorial and artistic projects on which they collaborated over the course of a decade. In these joint initiatives, artist and photographer transform the action of looking into a deliberate and poetic creative act, in which a fascination with the classical heritage often serves as a backdrop. On the other hand, Horst’s portraits and contact prints, together with pieces from Gala and Dal\u00ed’s fashion archive, allow us to discover the essential elements that intervene in the staging of the viewer, but also of the viewed. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

HORST P. HORST<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Horst P. Horst is regarded as one of the great figures of 20th-century fashion photography. Iconic images such as \u2018The Mainbocher Corset\u2019 (1939) and the costume designs by Salvador Dal\u00ed and Coco Chanel for the ballet Bacchanal<\/em> (1939), as well as unforgettable portraits of artists, fashion designers, socialites and celebrities of all kinds, are part of the collective imagination and made a decisive and defining contribution to the aesthetics of fashion and photographic portraiture of their time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
