George Platt Lynes author talk with Allen Ellenzweig and James Polchin

On Wednesday, February 8th, 2023, Gerber/Hart hosted a virtual book conversation with author Allen Ellenzweig about groundbreaking photographer George Platt Lynes.

Allen discussed his biography, George Platt Lynes: The Daring Eye, with Professor James Polchin, author of Indecent Advances: A Hidden History of True Crime and Prejudice Before Stonewall.

A precocious American youth who entered the orbit of American and British expatriates populating Paris and the South of France in the 1920s, George Platt Lynes went on to become a supremely assured portrait photographer documenting the great figures of literature, painting, opera, and dance of mid-twentieth century. This new biography tells his story in full.

This virtual conversation with Allen was moderated by James Polchin
