Details Dates/Times & Buy Tickets
An intimate look at a pioneering gay artist, who took radical photographs of the male nude and influenced a generation. 
 
George Platt Lynes' groundbreaking photography influenced contemporary tastemakers of his time such as Jean Cocteau, and Cecil Beaton, and his legacy of influence made waves through the decades, inspiring such iconic photographers as Bruce Weber and Andy Warhol.
 
His work, both sensuous and radically explicit for its time, has only recently been fully rediscovered and appreciated for the revolution that it represents — a man capturing his fantasies as a gift, a window to a future envisaged by his camera lens. 
 
Hidden Master features a stunning collection of photography from the 1930s to 50s, uncovering the less known life of Platt - Lynes: his gifted eye for the male form, his long-term friendships, and his lasting influence as one of the first openly gay American artists.
