George Platt Lynes is best remembered for his dazzling celebrity and fashion photographs. However, Lynes’ passion, and arguably his greatest talents, lay in his work with the male nude. This work, sensuous and radically explicit for its time, was kept hidden by Lynes and has only recently begun to be fully discovered and appreciated. Director Sam Shahid uncovers the life and work Lynes was forced to keep hidden from the public, helping to reclaim this gifted artist’s full legacy and lasting influence as one of the first openly gay American artists.
