It's been almost a year since I did my first full series on the life and work of Bernard Perlin, so let's do another. A major figure in the formative years of gay art culture in New York, he was close to a number of major figures, including the PaJaMa Collective and George Platt Lynes. So I am starting the set with a photo of him by Mr. Lynes and a portrait of the great photographer by him.
All were part of that gay constellation of artists, actors, writers and of other talents centered in NYC….:)
