I've had this photo for years and had doubts as to whether it was by George Platt Lynes
because it came with the word "questionable" attached to the file name. Well, it recently turned
up on a reputable art resale website with authentication. Even if it hadn't been his,
it would have been a testament to his influence.
The lighting is spectacular! So are the models. How did Lyons find his models?
ReplyDeleteMainly through his friends in the art and gay communities. There's considerable model overlap with PaJaMa and artists such as Bernard Perlin and Pavel Tchelitchew. Many are simply guys he knew.
DeleteI like the simplicity of this one, and the models are great. The third one stands out for me.
ReplyDeleteYou have good taste, Pat!
DeleteThanks Jerry! That good taste has required glasses for many years now for it to be good. Lol.
DeleteWhatever it takes.
