Herbert List (Hamburg 1903 – Munich 1975) was a classically educated German artist, who combined a love of photography with a fascination for surrealism and classicism. He worked for magazines including Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and Life, and was associated with Magnum Photos. His work is remembered as understated, minimalist and homoerotic with a surrealist undercurrent.
Greece became List's main interest from 1937 to 1939. After his first visit to the antique temples, sculptures and landscapes, his first solo show opened in Paris in the summer of 1937. This refreshing photograph taken in Phaleron, embodies his masterly ability for composition and control on light.
