George Platt Lynes (1907-1955) was a very successful fashion and ballet photographer in New York in the 1930s-40s, and later a much sought after portraitist. But he is best remembered for his images of the male nude. A true pioneer at a time when erotic photography of the male was taboo, his work influenced all the important photographers of the male nude that followed. Since Lynes destroyed many of his prints and negatives, most of the prints that remain were gifts to friends.
