‘Being a graphic designer you’re just kind of swimming in this like void, ‘cause it’s really easy to make things look cool. It’s really, really easy. I see cool stuff every day, so it becomes uninteresting. … (Working on Grand Royal Magazine) I took that moment to decide: what are you good at and what do you want to do?’ (via Western State mini documentary by Coudal Partners.)

“ …know what is good and what is bad, (…) appreciate the new but let nothing confuse your standards.
— Ernest Hemingway, ‘Death In The Afternoon’
‘J’aime le Strip-Tease’ (1964) by Frank Horvat (via Zines)
Frank Horvat was born in 1928 in what was then Italy and is now Croatia. He studied art in Milan and a meeting in 1951 with Henri Cartier-Bresson (more) decided his fate as a photojournalist. He traveled the world in the early 50s and sent his work back to Paris Match, Life and Realities among other magazines. In 1956 he settled in Paris and began to photograph fashion with a reportage style: real life situations, ambient lighting and 35mm cameras.
