Horst: 60 Years and Still in Vogue (1992x12)

:

For six decades, Horst P Horst has been revered as one of the world's greatest photographers. For Conde Nast and Vogue he catalogued the 1930s, an age of elegance, gaiety and art, when his intimate friends included Salvador Dali, Marlene Dietrich ,Jean Cocteau , Greta Garbo and Coco Chanel. His stylised black and white photographs now sell as collectors' items in galleries around the world and were the basis for Madonna's video, Vogue. At 87, Horst is still at work at his home in Oyster Bay, New York. In this programme Gerald Scarfe pays tribute to Horst, with contributions from Paloma Picasso, Karl Lagerfeld , Bruce Weber , Horst's favourite model Lisa Fonssagrives-Penn, Suzy Menkes and Jean Marais.
