    Frank Horvat* (Abbazia 1928 – 2020 Opatija) Untitled gelatin silver print 23,9 x 18,3 cm verso photographer’s stamp Traces of handling SCHÄTZPREIS / ESTIMATE € 200 - 300 STARTPREIS / STARTING PRICE € 200 Frank Horvat was an Italian photographer of the 20th century who spent most of his life in France, where he developed a multifaceted photographic practice. He achieved international renown, particularly for his fashion photography, which he pursued from the mid-1950s to the late 1980s using an innovative and often avant-garde visual language. Horvat liberated fashion photography from the static studio setting and relocated it to urban spaces, lending his images a new spontaneity and narrative vibrancy. In addition to fashion, he also dedicated himself to photojournalism, portraiture, and landscape, nature, and sculpture photography, resulting in a remarkable thematic breadth in his work. His artistic circle included photographers such as Don McCullin, Robert Doisneau, Sarah Moon, Helmut Newton, and Marc Riboud. Horvat's work appeared in prestigious publications such as Harper's Bazaar, positioning him at the intersection of fashion photography and documentary imagery.

(14.1 x 9.4 in. picture) Photographer's credit stamp on the verso Frank Horvat (Abbazia, Croatian 1928 – Paris, France 2020) from a Jewish family, escaped to Switzerland where he sold his stamp collection and bought a camera with which, having moved to Milan in 1947, he began a career that would change when in Paris he met Cartier-Bresson and Capa who initiated him into reportage. He implements this on a trip made without a return ticket to India and Pakistan: here he makes images that allow him to collaborate with Life. Another fundamental meeting is with William Klein, who introduces him to the world of fashion and to magazines such as Les Jardin des Modes, Elle, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar. In the 1990s he is one of the first to experiment with fantastic stories using digital photomontages. Frank Horvat used to say that he willingly accepted work in fashion because, being shy, he could more easily connect with women. True or false, the fact remains that he brings to that world a different, more free and direct approach, the same one he used in his travel reports. Like William Klein, he makes his models move among the streets of cities by chasing them outdoors in a fake but well-studied normality as these two examples well demonstrate. We are faced-at least it seems so-with two girls moving through the city browsing here and there, one posing in front of a billboard as if to smile at a friend who wants to take her portrait, the other glancing off to who knows where with the neatly displayed goods of a local market behind her, where she seems to have been going shopping. And with mischievousness Horvat makes us think that we would be lucky to meet her right there where perhaps we could go every morning.

    FRANK HORVAT (1928–2020)

    Est: €2,200 - €2,800

    FRANK HORVAT (1928–2020) | Backstage, from the series 'Strip-Tease', Paris c. 1959 Image Size: 24,6 x 16,1 cm English: Vintage silver print on double-weight semi-matte paper, in excellent condition. Adhesive note referring to the book project on the reverse. LITERATURE Frank Horvat, Eintritt frei. Strip-Tease, Lausanne 1963, p. 32. The print is the original master print for this book. Shortly after moving to Paris, the Italian photographer Frank Horvat began taking pictures in the vibrant nightlife of the famous variety theatres, resulting in his photo book "Strip-Tease". He not only captured the performances of the scantily clad ladies, but also backstage moments in notorious clubs such as the Folies-Bergère, Sphinx or Moulin-Rouge. Horvat's visual aesthetic is characterised by his talent for tracking down astonishing compositions, often combining his pictorial elements in the depth axis and working with leaps in scale and focus (a skill he later continued in his fashion stagings). subject to resale right Deutsch: Vintage-Silbergelatineabzug auf kartonstarkem halbmattem Papier, in ausgezeichnetem Zustand. Rückseitig Haftnotiz mit handschriftlichen Vermerken zur Publikation. LITERATUR Frank Horvat, Eintritt frei. Strip-Tease, Lausanne 1963, S. 32. Der Print ist die Originaldruckvorlage zu diesem Buch. Kurz nach seinem Umzug nach Paris begann der italienische Fotograf Frank Horvat im lebhaften Nachtleben der berühmten Varietés zu fotografieren, woraus sein Fotobuch "Strip-Tease" entstand. Er hielt nicht nur die Auftritte der spärlich bekleideten Damen fest, sondern auch Backstage-Momente in berüchtigten Clubs wie den Folies-Bergère, Sphinx oder Moulin-Rouge. Horvats visuelle Ästhetik ist geprägt von seinem Talent verblüffende Kompositionen aufzuspüren, wobei er seine Bildelemente häufig in der Tiefenachse kombiniert und mit Maßstabs- und Schärfesprüngen arbeitet (ein Kunstgriff, den er später in seinen Modeinszenierungen weiterführt). folgerechtspflichtig
