A MAGNIFICENT BOOK July 7, 2000
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I am not just a collector of photography books, I also collect art photography and my collection is made richer and fuller with 7 photographs by George Platt Lynes: a few portraits, one fashion shot and several works done for Balanchine's New York City Ballet. This book is beautifully produced with some magnificent photographs. Lynes' life story is not a happy one: in love with a man who was killed in WW2, finding more success with his fashion photography than with his "artier," more creative photographs, death at an early age by cancer with a large percentage of his work unpublished. This volume goes far in reaching a public which should be able to see the work of this man who was an obvious influence for later photographers like Robert Mapplethorpe.
GEORGE PLATT LYNES:PHOTOGRAPHS 1931-1955 May 4, 2000

This comprehensive monograph was my first exposure (no pun intended), to the incredible photography of George Platt Lynes. Although mostly dedicated to expression of the male nude, the female form is also represented. All the photo's are beautifully reproduced, and presented in a first class fashion. I have owned this book for almost a year now, and always find something new and interesting to see with each examination. In fact, because of this book,I have become very interested in not only Platt Lynes, but also in his contempoary friends and fellow artists. Paul Cadmus,a wonder painter, presented well in "Collaboration: Photographs by Paul Cadmus, Jared and Margaret French". And also Gorden Westcot, and Monroe Wheeler. Be sure to check out, "When We Were Three", the love story of three gay men living their bohemian lives in the mid 1900's....just wonderful!
