Paul Cadmus

An overview of his artwork by Lincoln Kirstein Bound, 144 pages, ills., 1992 Text: English Paul Cadmus, the American representative artist, has worked continually for six decades in a style that transcends prevailing fashion. A master of classic design, form, and technique, he has created a small but impressive body of work reflecting his unique and powerful vision of the human condition. Excerpts from contemporaneous reviews and articles, comments by the artist about his method and viewpoint, and selections from E.M. Forster's letters to Paul Cadmus from a correspondence that spanned twenty-five years are included throughout the book in counterpoint to Lincoln Kirstein's text, creating an unusually immediate and resonant context for viewing artwork. In addition, the volume contains a concise biography, a complete, chronological catalogue of paintings, listings of public collections, awards, and honors, and selected exhibitions of the works of Paul Cadmus.
