Seller's Description:
Very Good / Near Fine. Quarto, 1.25 in. x 9.75 in., pp. [7], 158. Illustrated with full-page black and white photographs. Black cloth boards with white title to spine. Bottom corners lightly nudged. Dustjacket protected in mylar. George Platt Lynes is recognized today as a master of 20th century photography, influencing artists such as Robert Mapplethorpe and Herb Ritts. Though Lynes was commercially successful in New York fashion and portrait photography, his art practice is largely characterized today by his remarkable photographs of nude men, from the 1930s until his death in 1955. Using inventive lighting, posing, and cropping techniques within his carefully staged studio settings, he was able to visually translate both the physical and psychological nuances of his subjects. He produced photographs featuring many gay artists and writers from the 1940s that were acquired by the Kinsey Institute after his death in 1955.
