Horst P. Horst — Lisa with Harp, Paris (1939)

Horst P. Horst — Lisa with Harp, Paris (1939)

Photographed in Paris in 1939, Lisa with Harp is one of Horst P. Horst's celebrated studies of the Swedish fashion model Lisa Fonssagrives. Using double exposure, Horst combines the model's figure with the strings of a harp, creating an unusual composition that bridges fashion photography and surrealist experimentation.

The photograph was later published in Vogue in May 1941.
