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.
