George Platt Lynes: 1907-1955 by David Leddick Rare 2000 Edition:
$185.00
In collaboration with his male nude models he was able to transcend time and place -- these images simultaneously glance back as a \"\"homage\"\" to Greek mythology and athleticism, and look forward to the modern, urban eroticism of Robert Mapplethorpe and Bruce Weber. This book breaks down his body of work into distinct sections. The portraits include such luminaries of twentieth century art and society as Thomas Mann, Igor Stravinsky, Countess Bismarck and Gertrude Stein, as well as fellow lens-men Cecil Beaton and Henri Cartier-Bresson, and it is clear from the lighting and the often surreal framing that he was a master of the form. This extends into his work with ballet and fashion, but of course it is in his extensive nude images that his admiration for the male body and his expert technique are truly brought together.Foreword by Anatole Pohorilenko
