George Platt Lynes (American, 1907-1955)
Lynes was a fashion and commercial photographer most active in the 1930s and 40s. Born in East Orange, New Jersey, he attended the Berkshire School in Massachusetts before traveling to Paris in 1925. While he was there, he encountered a group of artists that would become his friends, including Gertrude Stein, Glenway Westcott, and Monroe Wheeler. His interest in photography stemmed from wanting to photograph his friends and display them in the bookstore he owned in New Jersey, for which he started receiving commissions from magazines such as Town & Country.
His photographs of Marsden Hartley were taken in Lynes’s Greenwich Village studio. Hartley had moved from Maine to New York after the loss of his close friends, and Lynes had also experienced the death of his lover. Both dealing with grief, Hartley appears in a blank studio space. A testament to love and loss, this image differs from the erotic photographs that Lynes is best known for.
Throughout Lynes’s career, he participated in many solo and group exhibitions. His works are collected by major museums internationally including the National Gallery of Canada; Centre Pompidou Musée National d’Art Moderne, Paris; The Israel Museum, Jerusalem; The Art Institute of Chicago; Los Angeles County Museum; The Guggenheim Museum, New York; and the National Portrait Gallery, London.

- Michael Roberts Original Photograph "Michel Nude" Hamilton's London, 1989By Michael RobertsLocated in Palm Springs, CAMICHAEL ROBERTS (1947-2023) PLEASE NOTE: This photograph is a one of a kind original photograph. Every photograph in the show was available to purchase, and only one of each was printed. This large black and white hand printed silver gelatin photograph of "Michel Nude" by the legendary fashion icon, Michael Roberts, London. This image was part of a Michael Roberts show in 1989 at Hamilton's gallery, London. Signed on back. Black metal simple frame. Image: 15" x 19", framed: 22' x 26". This image is one of two that were in the gallery show in London. The images from the show were very rare and now highly sought after and collected after Mr. Robert's death but there are NONE available to purchase. These two images were purchased from that Exhibit from Hamiltons. The second one, "Nude of Michel" is available on separate listing. We hope they are purchased together as they were hung next to each other in the exhibit. MICHAEL ROBERTS: The preferred medium of the fashion journalist Michael Roberts was Canson art paper, which he scissored freehand into crisp-cut collages, or snipped into minute dots to reassemble into mosaics, for magazine covers or book illustrations. His art, bit by bit putting it together, reflected his life in fashion. He wrote about it, commissioned unexpected others to do so, photographed for media and ads, and charmed cranky legendary lensmen into snapping for him. He could source the clothes, choose the crazy locale, stage the shoot’s story, and write a witty critique of the enterprise. He was also always the most elegant person involved, effortlessly cool. Roberts, who has died aged 75, never bothered with a résumé, since every new role or venture seemed to just develop, but they totted up to a serious career. He was a writer on the Sunday Times in the 1970s, when new couture catwalk drama and heightened designer celebrity demanded a fashion voice that was both theatre critic and gossip columnist. Then from 1979 he was art and style director of Tatler magazine, when the editor, Tina Brown...Category
