Intimate Companions
A Triography of George Platt Lynes, Paul Cadmus, Lincoln Kirstein, and Their Circle
About this book
"Leddick makes a strong case for why his subjects remain vital and important American artists." — Publishers Weekly
Photographer George Platt Lynes, painter Paul Cadmus, and critic Lincoln Kirstein played a major role in creating the institutions of the American art world from the late 1920s to the early 1950s. The three created a remarkable world of gay aesthetics and desire in art with the help of their overlapping circle of friends, lovers, and collaborators.
Through hours of conversation with surviving members of their circle and unprecedented access to papers, journals, and previously unreleased photos, David Leddick has resurrected the influences of this now-vanished art world along with the lives and loves of all three artists in this groundbreaking biography.
