Born in East Orange, New Jersey to Adelaide Sparkman and Joseph Russell Lynes (died 1932). His younger brother was Joseph Russell Lynes, Jr. (1910–1991). Lynes spent his childhood in New Jersey but attended the Berkshire School in Massachusetts, where he was a classmate of Lincoln Kirstein (1907–1996). He was sent to Paris in 1925 with the idea of better preparing him for college. His life was forever changed by the circle of friends that he would meet there including Gertrude Stein, Glenway Wescott, Monroe Wheeler. He attended Yale University in 1926, but dropped out after a year to move to New York City ... " Indiana University " ... The photos were considered taboo at the time, and transferring them by mail could result in jail time or a fine. But Lynes was not only daring with his gift, he was hopeful that one day photos of nude men, some of whom are posing together, would not only be allowed to be seen but would be seen without prejudice or fear of prosecution ... " Howard Greenberg Gallery " ... By 1933, Lynes was a central figure in the New York photography world. He quickly became known for his highly stylized images characterized by expressionistic lighting, surrealistic props, and suggestive settings.

In the creation of a duotone, two halftone plates are made, one for black, which picks up the highlight and shadow regions, and one for middle tones, either other shades of black, or another color. When two non-black colors are used in the production of a duotone, it is often called a duochrome. Duotones are often made to increase detail in the black regions of an image, or as a special effect ... "Lithography Process (Tate) " ... Offset lithography involves printing the image onto an intermediate surface before the final sheet. The process is ‘offset’ because the plate does not come in direct contact with the paper, which preserves the quality of the plate. With offset lithography, the image is reversed twice, and appears on the final sheet the same way round as on the stone or plate ...
