George Platt Lynes began his career in the 1930s photographing celebrities, and it’s for those portraits, along with his extravagant fashion work, that he is best remembered today. However, Lynes’ heart and his greatest passion was focused in his private work with the male nude.
His groundbreaking photography influenced contemporary tastemakers of his time such as Jean Cocteau, Man Ray, and Cecil Beaton, and his legacy of influence made waves through the decades, inspiring such iconic photographers as Robert Mapplethorpe, Bruce Weber, and Andy Warhol.
