About the Book

The beginning of a groundbreaking career: photographic journeys through India and Pakistan Famous fashion photographer Frank Horvat (1928 - 2020) first travelled, aged twenty-five, to India and Pakistan in 1952, after having first encountered Indian soldiers in Switzerland during WWII as young Hungarian Jewish refugee. He stayed then for two years in India and Pakistan and his first photographs were published in Europe and the USA. As he came back, he had almost become famous even before starting his pioneering fashion photography career. His photograph of the wedding bride taken in Pakistan in 1952 was notably exhibited by Edward Steichen at the New York MoMA in 1955 as part of The Family of Man. In 1962, Horvat made another trip to India. This book shows for the first time around one hundred black-and-white photographs of these two trips he made to India and Pakistan encountering the great themes of humankind at the birth of his extraordinary career. Horvat's work is included in prominent collections, such as the MOMA, Museum of Modern Art, New York; Eastman House, Rochester, New York; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas; and the Paul Getty collection, Los Angeles, California.

About the Author :
Frank Horvat (1928-2020) was a renowned French photographer known for his innovative approach to fashion and documentary photography. Born in Italy, he moved to France in the 1950s, where he became a key figure in both commercial and fine art photography. Horvat's work elegantly blended the spontaneity of street photography with the aesthetics of fashion, capturing iconic images for magazines like Vogue and Elle. He was also a pioneer in using color photography during a time when black and white dominated the field. His legacy includes a rich archive of images that reflect a unique perspective on life and style.
