From visionary art director Sam Shahid, Hidden Master – The Legacy of George Platt Lynes features a stunning collection of photography from the 1930s-50s, uncovering the life of Lynes less known: his gifted eye for the male form, his long-term friendships with Gertrude Stein and Alfred Kinsey, and his lasting influence as one of the first openly gay American artists. This work, sensuous and radically explicit for its time, has only recently begun being fully discovered and appreciated for the revolution that it represents — a man capturing his fantasies as a gift, a window to a future his camera saw coming before anyone else.

Hidden Master – The Legacy of George Platt Lynes will be shown at Frameline47 June 24, 3:30 PM at the Castro Theatre and will stream online June 24, 12:01 AM — July 2, 11:59 PM
