Jean Michael Basquiat was an American artist and the first African-American painter to become an international art star. He gained popularity first as a graffiti artist in New York City, and then as a successful 1980s-era Neo-expressionist artist. Basquiat’s paintings continue to influence modern-day artists
”start a picture and I finish it. I don’t think about art while I work. I try to think about life.” - Basquiat

” The subject matter is so much more important than the photographer. “
FLASHBACK PHOTOGRAPHY: HORST(P)HORST.
February 4th, 2010
“ In the history of twentieth-century fashion and portrait photography, Horst’s contribution figures as one of the most artistically significant and long lasting, spanning as it did the sixty years between 1931 and 1991. During this period, his name became legendary as a one-word photographic byline, and his photographs came to be seen as synonymous with the creation of images of elegance, style and rarefied glamour. “ ”
” Horst’s real breakthrough as a published fashion and portrait photographer was in the pages of British Vogue… starting with the 30 March 1932 issue showing three fashion studies and a full-page portrait of the daughter of Sir James Dunn, the art patron and supporter of Surrealism.”

Pure Elegance. Amazing, amazing, amazing.. oh and did I mention this was AMAZING?! I’m really enjoying my fashion Industry class more and more because it’s breaking me through to some fabulous Black & white photos. Horst Bohrmann’s Photography leaves me speechless.
You might ask what my # 1 wish would be, ( & if you didn’t ask I Shall tell you)…
It is too have tea and sweet cookies with the great Richard Avedon and Mr. Horst while conversing about modern day film photography.. you know.. me and the greats chilling out.
