The handsome, private, homoerotic photography of George Platt Lynes, on show at Kendall Koppe

I wanted to bring you these images from the George Platt Lynes show at Kendall Kope in Glasgow.

The show opened the night I left town during the Glasgow International.

I wish I’d been able to see it.

Apparently this work sold even before the show opened.

Platt Lynes was an American photographer in the first half of the twentieth century whose public work was in fashion and film portraiture.

His most accomplished work was in private, of male nudes.

Photographs of his friends and acquaintances.

This is Bernardo Rostad, taken in 1953.

More works.

I love the tension of this one.

Feels so dangerous.

Many of the images take inspiration from Greek mythology.

Another work.

I’m checking with Kendall, but I think this one’s Charles Levinson aka Le Vincent, Paris, from 1930.

Kendall’s had plinths built in the centre of his space to show Lucie Rie’s ceramics near eye height.

Wish I’d seen it.
