The interior-design photographer Horst P. Horst is in the fifth decade of his career. Since the 1950s, after his apprenticeship to the pioneering modernist architect, Le Corbusier, Horst's photos have captured many of the classic interiors of the beau monde. Organized by decades, this book provides an overview of his accomplishments and a record of domestic taste over the last half-century. With text and interviews by Barbara Plumb, the book reflects the look of each different era, recording the flowering and the fading of trends. Among the rooms shown are those of Katharine Graham, Baroness Philippe de Rothschild, Gloria Vanderbilt, Valentino, Cy Twombley and Tatiana Franchetti, and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. The author's other books include "The `New York Times' Guide to Home Furnishings" and "Houses Architects Live In".

Style Setters and their Stylish Interiors,
By Classicdude (River City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Horst: Interiors (Hardcover)
Some of the most stylish interiors of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s are shown in color photos by the noted photographer Horst P. Horst, usually with their equally stylish owners. While all the decoration is top drawer, some of the photos are surprisingly fuzzy and/or dark, and not in an artistic way; they appear to this critic to be substandard photos. The text is minimal and the reader is generally left on his own to depend on his own eyes, knowledge of social history and design, and perhaps some detective work. Fifty two residences are shown, often with a few interesting shots. However, the only insight into Jacqueline Onassis' Manhattan apartment is left to the reader to determine from a close shot of the coffee table displaying a basket of tulips, another basket with fruit, a stand of worry beads, a dried mushroom on a twig, a branch of black coral, and two bronze Eqypian cats! Chic interiors by Renzo Mongiardino, Billy Baldwin, Denning & Fourcade, Mac II, Jacques Grange, Francois Catroux, and Parish-Hadley are among the decorators whose work appears here.

RECEIVED BOOK IN A TIMELY MANNER!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Horst: Interiors (Hardcover)
My book arrived in a timely manner, in far better condition than the "used" term might have indicated, the only obvious "used" was a faded front of the dust jacket....no problem...I'm just happy to have the book!
