EVENT: George Platt Lynes: The Daring Eye

Commercial and fashion photographer George Platt Lynes (1907-1955) achieved fame after photographing notable writers, including Jean Cocteau, Gertrude Stein, Colette, and Andre Gide, and the George Balanchine/Lincoln Kirstein ballet companies which became the New York City Ballet. Privately, he produced a substantial collection of male nude and homoerotic photographs, many of which were acquired by the Kinsey Institute. In this program sponsored by the NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project, biographer Allen Ellenzweig discusses his new book GEORGE PLATT LYNES: THE DARING EYE, which takes a closer look at the celebrated photographer and the gay and lesbian artistic network of which he was part.

Its website, including an interactive map, features over 375 diverse places from the 17th century to 2000 that are important to LGBT history and illustrate the community’s influence on NYC and American culture. The project researches and nominates LGBT sites to the National Register, advocates for the official recognition of LGBT historic sites, provides walking tours (also accessible through a free-app), presents lectures, engages the community through events, develops educational programs for New York City public school students, and disseminates its content through robust social media channels. Its goal is to make an invisible history visible while fostering pride and awareness.
