Description
George Platt Lynes’ Tex Smutney (1941) captures the timeless poise and quiet intensity of his male portraiture. With sculptural lighting and a cinematic gaze, Lynes elevates the sitter to a symbol of vulnerability and idealized beauty—hallmarks of his pioneering work at the intersection of fashion, fine art, and homoerotic visual language.
