Lot description
Male Nude, Back Study, New York. 1952. Gelatin silver print on Agfa paper, printed later. 36,5 x 47,5 cm (40,4 x 50,4 cm). Signed by the photographer in pencil in lower margin; photographer's copyright stamp and annotated in pencil and red crayon by another hand on the verso, matted. This strikingly abstract, modern nude exemplifies Horst P. Horst's masterful orchestration of light and shadow. The stark contrasts of black and white emphasize the sculptural quality of the model, whose solid form mirrors the compact mass of the stone on which he lies. This rare image is one of Horst's more minimalistic and abstract works, highlighting his ability to distill the human figure into a harmonious interplay of shape and texture. – Light handling dent in upper left and mid right, a few small retouched spots, otherwise a fine, tonal print in near excellent condition.
