The definitive book on Horst, acting as both a biography and a survey of his entire oeuvre. The author was Horst's life-long partner, Valentine Lawford. The book covers Horst's youth in Germany, his time in Paris and New York, his work during the war years, and the post-war years working around the globe. It reproduces all of Horst's iconic photographs but also many images that have previously been unpublished and several more informal snapshots.
