Male Nude (Carlos McClandon)
George Platt Lynes, 1947-09
From the 1930s on Lynes worked as a portrait and fashion photographer in New York and Hollywood. In this world of glitter and glamour, show and outward appearance, another aspect of his work – namely homo-erotically tinged nude studies – had to remain out of sight. Lynes feared that it would endanger his career. These male nudes only gained widespread publicity after his death.
