Dance


Dance was a consistent theme in George Platt Lynes' work, and is shows up here.

  1. GPL was the official photographer of the American Ballet.
    GPL had a falling out of some kind with Lincoln Kirstein who founded American Ballet. GPL had become too open and controversial for the swans of NYC’s gay society….:)

  2. Miroir magique !
    Platt Lynes was famous for his ballet and fashion photography.
    Dancers are good subjects for nude photography, as they are comfortable with their bodies. Platt Lynes had quite a pool of modèles to choose from.

    1. That pool of models included dancers, hustlers, writers, friends, and at least one lover.
