An intimate look at pioneering artist George Platt Lynes, who took radically explicit photographs of the male nude. The documentary reveals Lynes’ 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. “Exquisitely wrought. . .one of the more intelligent documentaries of an artist I can think of in recent memory.” -Film-Forward (Sam Shahid, 2024, USA, 1:36, NR)
