Book Description: Pomegranate, San Francisco, Calif., 1992. Paperback. Book Condition: Good. 0876549415 Paperback edition. Solid retired library book with usual library markings; else VG. Text free of underlining, writing and highlighting. PAUL CADMUS, the American representional 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. This book presents the entire range of Cadmus's remarkable achievement: the controversial, satiric social realism of The Fleet's In!, Bar Italia, and Subway Symphony; the haunting, allegorical Seven Deadly Sins series, completed in 1983 by The Eighth Sin: Jealousy; and the almost surreal Fire Island paintings, Fantasia on a Theme by Dr. S. and Point O' View. Also reproduced here are superbly draughted etchings and drawings, executed with the technical virtuosity and anatomical precision of the Renaissance masters, that celebrate the beauty of the human body. Lincoln Kirstein, well known as the founding director of the New York City Ballet and author of several books on the arts, brings the full measure of his knowledge and sensibility to his critical appreciation of Cadmus's achievement. In a text that closely relates to the art as it is presented, Mr. Kirstein traces the development of the artist's life and work within a commentary rich in observations about the social, cultural, literary, and artistic influences and traditions that have shaped his subject's philosophy and method. Married to Cadmus's sister, Mr. Kirstein also offers an affecting portrait of the artist himself and discusses his relationship with other artists and writers, among them Jared and Margaret French, Reginald Marsh, W. H. Auden, and E. M. Forster. 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. 144 pages.
