Seven photographs of works by Jared French
This portfolio of seven photographs documents works by painter Jared French, captured by photographer George Platt Lynes in black and white and toned media. The images reveal French's figurative practice through both portrait studies and narrative compositions featuring male and female nudes in classical and contemporary settings. The photographs range from intimate head studies to complex multi figure arrangements, demonstrating French's engagement with humanist themes and anatomical precision. Shot with careful attention to light and shadow, these documentary photographs preserve French's paintings and drawings, offering insight into the Magic Realist movement's celebration of the body and psychological intensity. The collection reflects mid twentieth century artistic practice and the crucial role of photography in documenting and disseminating visual art.
