George Platt Lynes (1907-1955).was an American fashion and commercial photographer who worked in the 1930s and 1940s. He is recognized today as a master of 20th century photography, influencing artists such as Robert Mapplethorpe and Herb Ritts. He received commissions from Harper's Bazaar, Town & Country, and Voguel, including a cover with perhaps the first supermodel, Lisa Fonssagrives. In 1935, he was asked to document the principal dancers and productions of Kirstein's and George Balanchine's newly founded American Ballet company (now the New York City Ballet).
