Hidden Master: The Legacy of George Platt Lynes

Celebrating the life and work of photographer George Platt Lynes: his daring imagery, gifted eye for the nude male form, and lasting influence.

George Platt Lynes made his name photographing celebrities and fashion in the 1930s-50s. However, his passion and real talent lay elsewhere, photographing the naked male. These images, of lovers, dancers, film stars, sailors and hustlers, were sensuous and radically explicit for the time, and have only recently been fully rediscovered. This documentary passionately celebrates the man and his work.
