Today is the first day of Genius Week here on the blog, and for the next seven days, I will be posting work by men I consider the very best of their genres. (You may be surprised by one or two of these choices.) I can't think of a better place to start than with George Platt Lynes. I keep thinking I should know who this model is, but I can't find a name for him anywhere. Isn't he beautiful?
Ah George. We can never have too many photos! I would certainly agree that he was a creative genius in his ability to create interesting and intriguing images. The fact that he was also very proficient in the technical aspects of his craft certainly helps!
ReplyDeleteI agree. He brought art and technology into a perfect balance.
DeleteAlthough I liked several of these today, this is my favorite. I like the nice pubic hair, and the way his penis is laying there so appealingly.
ReplyDeleteUnderstandable.
DeleteRight. Even his G-rated work is excellent.
ReplyDeleteHis work is sublime in all genres. This is particular is a favourite of mine, and I would love to know who he is. His musculature is stunning.
ReplyDeletei was hoping someone might know the name. Tom, who commented above, is an avid collector, and if he doesn't know . . .
DeleteThe self portraits.. I'm in love with him...
ReplyDeleteHe did a lot of those, plus he sat for several portraits by good painters.
