Fred Danieli


Closing out our Christmas Eve set of George Platt Lynes photos with this one 
of Fred Danieli.  The dark and light contrast are trademark Lynes.

  1. Well, Christmas certainly came early for me this year, Jerry. Thanks again for this excellent series. There were quite a few photos that I hadn't seen before which made it even more special.

    Wishing you a very Happy Christmas.

  3. Thank you, Jerry, for such quality. At this time of year, it is worthwhile remembering that quality goes far further than quantity, and I have had an excellent sufficiency, thank you!

  4. The lighting focuses on his thighs, in turn drawing one's attention to the subject's genitals. How coy of Mr. Platt-Lynes.

    1. There may be a subtle (or is it not so subtle?) message about the "standards" of the era. This type of image was not publicly displayed or distributed until decades after Lynes' untimely death.
