George Platt Lynes
The nudity in this 1948 G.P. Lynes photo is subdued,
I have about 8 shots from this casual photo shoot. I didn't know any others existed. The model is dancer Francisco Moncion. Other shots show his face more clearly. I believe they are in Francisco's Central Park West apartment.
I miss spoke above. One of the pictures taken shows a towel in the bathroom with initial GPL on the towel - so was in all likelihood Platt Lynes's apartment. Good documentation. I can email you shots. I read you are in Hilo. I grew up on Lehua Street.

This is fantastic. I like that light/ dark contrast, the pose, and composition.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely.
DeleteThe perfect blend where it all comes together. Exceptional, but it is Lynes after all.
ReplyDeleteRight. I have a full series of Mr. Lynes' work comin up in a few weeks.
DeleteEthereal image.
ReplyDeletePlatt-Lynes also did a great surreal series of mythological figures….:)

ReplyDeleteThanks for the information. Do you know where I can get digital versions of the other photos?
