George Platt Lynes: Photographs 1931-1955 silas-finch his imagery emerges in aEssays by George Balanchine, Lincoln Kirstein, and Glenway Westcott "Besides being singleminded in his predisposition for handsome unfettered manhood, Lynes was a master of studio lighting and dramatic improvisation.

Lynes was, in times less tolerant than ours, the Robert Mapplethorpe of his generation." New York
