The catalogue of the exhibition held at the Jeu de Paume in Tours in 2022, with more than 250 photographs taken after the war by Frank Horvat, between 1950 and 1965.
Born in Italy in 1928 to Jewish parents from Central Europe, and a refugee in Switzerland in 1939, Frank Horvat began photography in the early 1950s. From 1952 to 1955, his first trips to Pakistan, India, Israel, and England earned him numerous publications in the international press. Capturing close-ups of scenes of great intensity and sometimes forbidden places, he revealed himself to be a photographer of the body and the intimate. A fascination that he would also express in his fashion images for Garden of fashions , Vogue , Harper's Bazaar or in the hallucinatory vibrations of a world tour carried out in 1962-1963, which remained largely unknown.
Published on the occasion of the exhibition at the Jeu de Paume-Tours, this catalogue focuses on the first fifteen years of Frank Horvat's career, a period during which he established an exceptional personality as an author-reporter and fashion photographer. This work constitutes the first historical monograph on Frank Horvat's work, renewing the vision and analysis of his work, through a collection of photographs, unpublished documents and texts by specialists.
"This first historical monograph is a success." Polka
"Manipulating withdrawal, irony and diversion in turn, the French photographer Frank Horvat shook up post-war photography with his astonishingly lively photographs." The World
