The Flandrin pose<\/a> again, this time in a photograph by George Platt Lynes<\/a> (1907\u20131955). This is from a Flickr set<\/a> of Lynes’ work which was a nice find since many of the web collections are small and tend to repeat the same material.<\/p>\n

The picture above isn’t from the Flickr set, it’s a scan from Philip Core’s essential Camp: The Lie that Tells the Truth<\/em><\/a> (1984), and a photograph that long fascinated me for completely unwholesome and inartistic reasons. Core credits it only as depicting dancers from Balanchine’s Icarus<\/em> but I’d suspected for some time it was a Lynes picture, Lynes having photographed Balanchine’s dancers on several occasions, notably in some nude stagings of Orpheus<\/em>. The Flickr picture below confirms the Lynes origin although it adds a new layer of mystery by crediting it to Balanchine’s Die Fledermaus<\/em>. Given the very Classical look of the dancers’ costumes I suspect Core has the correct attribution but the confusion is also an excuse to keep searching.<\/p>\n
