Paul Cadmus (December 17, 1904, New York City – December 12, 1999, Weston, Connecticut), American painter, best known for paintings that combined eroticism and and social commentary, and for his drawings of the male nude. Jared French (1905–1988), Cadmus' great friend and onetime lover, was another of the American artists who, along with Cadmus and George Tooker, worked in a style often described as magic realism.
One of my favorite artists. I had never seen this piece. wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOne of his earliest pieces. And quite a bit more naturalistic than so much of his work. I've read that he considered it his first "real" painting.
