Original vintage photogravure, composed in 1952 and printed somewhat later, on high-grade archival paper affixed to a thin acid-free sheet. Stamped with the artist's name, verso. The stunning composition "Herbert Bliss" refers to Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray". It should be clear that either female or male beauty is subject of the life principle of transitoriness. It might just fade away.
Condition: Very good.
Herbert Bliss
George Platt Lynes (April 15, 1907 – December 6, 1955) was an American fashion and commercial photographer who worked in the 1930s and 1940s. He produced photographs featuring many gay artists and writers from the 1940s that were acquired by the Kinsey Institute after his death in 1955.
