George Platt Lynes’ is known for his highly stylized, theatrical approach to portraiture, fashion, and male nudes, blending surrealism, classical influences, and precise lighting. Among his notable models was Ted Starkowski, whose striking physique and expressive presence made him a frequent subject in Lynes’ exploration of the male form. His photographs often feature dreamlike compositions and a refined sense of eroticism, cementing his legacy as an important figure in mid-20th-century fine art and queer photography. – Edges slightly rubbed, some very light handling creases and traces of previous mounting, otherwise in very good condition.
