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.
Interesting to see the photographer and his camera.
ReplyDeleteGPL was a trailblazer of the homoerotic, a shame his work was never exhibited in public or published at that time….:(
Well, a lot of his work was published and seen, just none of the male nudes.
DeleteOui, génie de l’imagerie.
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent series, beyond excellent, really. I didn't know Lynes was so... hot. Good work, Jerry.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Leroy. These photos are special, and it's nice to know they are appreciated.
DeleteThanks to social media, and to you Jerry, Lynes work will live on.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. Now if that guy in the movie would just let go of the work he's holding back.
DeleteYes. And that bothers me.
