The Genius of George Platt Lynes


It's time for our quarterly series on the genius of George Platt Lynes.  Slowly, but surely, more of his work is coming to light as time passes.  Today I will be posting some items that recently came to my attention and which I think are among his best.  We start with a self portrait with camera.

  1. Interesting to see the photographer and his camera.
    GPL was a trailblazer of the homoerotic, a shame his work was never exhibited in public or published at that time….:(

    1. Well, a lot of his work was published and seen, just none of the male nudes.

  3. This is an excellent series, beyond excellent, really. I didn't know Lynes was so... hot. Good work, Jerry.

    1. You're welcome. Now if that guy in the movie would just let go of the work he's holding back.
