  • George Platt Lynes David Zwirner
    David Zwirner New York London Hong Kong George Platt Lynes Artist Biography Among the greatest photographers of the twentieth century, George Platt Lynes (1907–1955) developed a uniquely elegant and distinctive style of portraiture alongside innovative investigations of the erotic and formal qualities of the male nude body. Born and raised in New Jersey with his brother Russell, who would go on to become a managing editor at Harper’s Magazine, Lynes entertained literary ambitions in his youth. While at prep school in Massachusetts, where he studied beside future collaborator and New York City Ballet founder Lincoln Kirstein, he began a correspondence with the American writer Gertrude Stein, then living in Paris. Over a series of successive visits to Paris, he met Stein and her partner, Alice B. Toklas, who integrated him into their creative milieu. At their salons, he met such figures as the painter Pavel Tchelitchew, French writer André Gide, and the dancer Isadora Duncan. Accompanying him on many of these transatlantic journeys was a romantically involved couple consisting of writer Glenway Wescott and the publisher and future director of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Monroe Wheeler, the latter of whom became Lynes’s lover. During a failed attempt to write a novel and a successful stint as the owner of a bookshop in New Jersey, Lynes began experimenting with a camera in 1929, photographing friends in his creative social circles in New York and Paris. Those early casual experiments would become a serious commitment to the medium. In 1931, he settled in New York, where his ménage à trois continued with Wheeler and Wescott, with all three sharing an apartment, an arrangement that lasted until 1943.

    ROMAN ROAD PRESS RELEASE PHOTO LONDON Stand G23 Thursday 17 May – Sunday 20 May 2018 Opening Hours: Thursday 17 May: 12 PM – 8 PM Somerset House Friday 18 May: 12 PM – 7.30 PM Strand Saturday 19 May: 12 PM – 7.30 PM London, WC2R 1LA Sunday 20 May: 12 PM – 6.30 PM Exhibited Artists: Antony Cairns, Gita Lenz, Natalia LL, George Platt Lynes, Aaron Siskind, Daisuke Yokota Roman Road is very pleased to be participating in the fourth edition of Photo London, hosted at Somerset House from 17 – 20 May 2018. Featuring both 20th-century and contemporary photographic works, our stand brings together pieces by international artists who have engaged with experimental printing methods and the aesthetics of abstraction. The display considers the definitions of abstract photography, looking at the originality and process of artists who have abstracted subject and composition, or experimented with techniques that manipulate forms and impart new meaning. The stand features experimental works by contemporary artists Antony Cairns and Daisuke Yokota. Employing unlikely supports and radical techniques, Cairns’ work engages deeply with technological developments and he transforms machines and recycled materials into art objects. The display includes selected works from two of his most recent series – E.I. and IBM – through which he presents his images of cities petrified in e-reader screens and printed on tinted IBM computer punch cards. Yokota’s works on the stand are taken from his Matter/Burn Out (2016), a series whereby he documented the process of setting fire to installation prints in a vacant construction site in Xiamen, China.

  • February 7, 2001
    April 2019 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Keith de Lellis (212) 327-1482 [email protected] GEORGE PLATT LYNES PORTRAITS, NUDES, & DANCE APRIL 11 – MAY 23, 2019 Keith de Lellis Gallery showcases the portrait photography of noted fashion photographer and influential artist George Platt Lynes (American, 1907–1955) in its spring exhibition. Though largely concealed during his lifetime (or published under pseudonyms), Lynes’ male nude photographs are perhaps his most notable works today and inspired later artists such as Robert Mapplethorpe and Herb Ritts. Primarily self-taught, Lynes was influenced by Man Ray when he visited Paris in 1925, where he also met Monroe Wheeler, Glenway Wescott, and John Cocteau. Publisher Jack Woody wrote, “surrealism, neo-romanticism, and other European visual movements remained with him” when he returned to New York (Ballet: George Platt Lynes, Twelvetree Press, 1985). Lynes first exhibited with surrealist gallerist Julian Levy in 1932, and was featured at many galleries and museums in his lifetime, including three group exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art. He opened his New York studio in 1933, finding great success in commercial portraiture for fashion magazines (Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, etc.) and local elites. The artist relocated to Los Angeles in 1946 to lead Vogue’s west coast studio for two years, photographing celebrities such as Katharine Hepburn and Gloria Swanson, before returning to New York to focus on personal work, disavowing commercial photography. While his commercial work allowed him to support himself and brought him great recognition as a photographer, it did not fulfill him creatively, leading the artist to destroy many of those negatives and prints towards the end of his life.

  • Charles Henri Ford David Zwirner
    David Zwirner New York London Hong Kong Charles Henri Ford Artist Biography Born and raised in Mississippi, the ambitious poet, writer, and artist Charles Henri Ford (1908–2002) dropped out of high school and began publishing a literary magazine, Blues: A Magazine of New Rhythms, which included work by William Carlos Williams, Gertrude Stein, and Paul Bowles. Before turning twenty, his first poem appeared in The New Yorker. After a brief stint in New York, where he met writers Parker Tyler and Djuna Barnes, he made his way to Paris. Associating with Gertrude Stein’s literary and artistic crowd, he met the Russian-born artist and set designer Pavel Tchelitchew, who soon became his life partner. In 1933, a Parisian press published The Young and Evil, a highly experimental novel co-authored by Ford and Tyler that was banned in the United States for its blatantly homosexual themes. Returning to New York in 1934, Ford introduced Tchelitchew to his broad social circle, which included the photographer George Platt Lynes; cultural impresario Lincoln Kirstein; and his sister, the model and actress Ruth. By the end of the decade, Ford had published the first of sixteen full-length books of poems, The Garden of Disorder, with an introduction by William Carlos Williams. From 1940 to 1947, Ford and Tyler published View magazine. A combination of articles, stories, and images, the periodical was credited with introducing Surrealism to the American public. Contributions by the likes of Joseph Cornell, André Breton, Max Ernst, and Lincoln Kirstein populated the pages. Returning to Europe in 1952, Ford turned his attention to his artmaking practices.

  • The Young and Evil the Young and Evil
    the young and evil the young and evil QUEER MODERNISM IN NEW YORK, 1930–1955 EDITED BY JARRETT EARNEST No Strangers ANN REYNOLDS Oh it isn’t a world for scissors, for mallets; but for needle, thread and for paste: it is such a world for we were only being yes apart, not together, and that is the making of it. The making of us. — Charles Henri Ford and Parker Tyler 1 Near the dead center of the novel The Young and Evil (1933) is a letter from Karel to Julian, written as the two men prepare to move on to other lovers: “There was an unmaking of it, it being we. We were not, not either, not all, not together, not apart and it is discouraging but it is good too for I am loving him, I am finding out again with someone entirely different oh so much so that there is nothing now but the writing of it. So here.” 2 The Young and Evil is a roman à clef based, in part, on letters written and sent between Parker Tyler and Charles Henri Ford in the relatively early days of their friendship, before and after Ford arrived in New York in 1930. Karel is Tyler; Julian is Ford. Many of the novel’s other characters are based on mutual friends and lovers, including Kathleen Tankersley Young and Lionel Abel. At the time, and over time, some resisted identifi- cation with their fictional counterparts or even with the worlds depicted in the novel, which underscores how distinctions between reality and illusion, life and art, are relative, mutable, and constituted by different desires—and how the ways in which one perceives oneself and may be perceived by others are not inevitably the same.

    David Zwirner New York London Hong Kong The Young and Evil Curated by Jarrett Earnest February 21–April 13, 2019 533 West 19th Street, New York Opening reception: Thursday, February 21, 6–8 PM Press preview with Jarrett Earnest: Thursday, February 21, 5 PM Pavel Tchelitchew, George Platt Lynes, c. 1937–1942 (detail) David Zwirner is pleased to present The Young and Evil, a group exhibition curated by Jarrett Earnest, at the gallery’s 533 West 19th Street location in New York. The exhibition will feature significant works from the first half of the twentieth century by Paul Cadmus, Fidelma Cadmus Kirstein, Charles Henri Ford, Jared French, Margaret Hoening French, George Platt Lynes, Bernard Perlin, Pavel Tchelitchew, George Tooker, Jensen Yow, and their circle. This group of artists and writers looked away from abstraction toward older sources and models—classical and archaic forms of figuration and Renaissance techniques. What might be seen as a reactionary aesthetic maneuver was made in the service of radical content—endeavoring to depict their own lives. Drawn from important public and private collections, key works include a painting from Paul Cadmus’s infamous sailor trilogy, Shore Leave (1933), on loan from the Whitney Museum of American Art; a major canvas by Pavel Tchelitchew featuring vignettes of George Platt Lynes at work; rare paintings by Margaret Hoening French and works on paper by Fidelma Cadmus Kirstein; and never-before-seen erotic drawings and photographs from the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University. On the occasion of the exhibition, a fully illustrated, comprehensive catalogue featuring new scholarship by art historians Ann Reynolds and Kenneth E.

  • Jensen Yow David Zwirner
    David Zwirner New York London Hong Kong Jensen Yow Artist Biography Alexander Jensen Yow (b. 1925) left his home in North Carolina to study art at Cooper Union and the Art Students League in New York in 1946. At the Art Students League, he met the painter Paul Cadmus, who introduced him to his sister, Fidelma, and her husband, Lincoln Kirstein, the co-founder of the School of American Ballet (later renamed the New York City Ballet) with choreographer George Balanchine. Eventually Kirstein and Yow became lovers, with Yow moving into the home Kirstein shared with his wife. Kirstein integrated Yow into his extensive creative social network and helped him get a job at Pippen Press, a fine silk-screening press he had founded that made prints for artists such as Ben Shahn, Pablo Picasso, and Cadmus. As Yow continued to work on his artmaking—he prided himself the most on his portraiture—he found additional income working as a studio assistant to the portrait and fashion photographer George Platt Lynes, building sets and painting backdrops for his fashion shoots. Yow regularly served as a model for those in his artistic and social orbit. Lynes photographed Yow in various stages of undress as part of his ongoing investigation of the male nude, while those in the photography collective PaJaMa (consisting of Paul Cadmus, Jared French, and Margaret Hoening French) captured him artistically posing on the beach for their camera. Paul Cadmus used Yow and the actor Jack Fontan as models for his painting The Bath (1951). In 1958, Yow moved out of Kirstein’s home, but the two remained committed friends until the latter’s death, in 1996.
