THE MODEL<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In the words of Irving Penn, Horst could create the most beautiful and romantic images of women. His photographs radiate elegance, glamour and formal perfection. Dal\u00ed also tends towards idealisation, especially when Gala is the subject of his work. When this is not the case, Dal\u00ed’s women are the object of transgressions and become interstitial beings, situated halfway between beauty and provocation, desire and menace. In this creative dialogue, Horst offers a perfect counterpoint to Dal\u00ed’s ideas, providing a dimension that is at once unsettling and poetic, enriching the compositions and broadening their interpretation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
