Description
This lot consists of a graphite and colored pencil illustration on paper, done in the magical realism style of Paul Cadmus (American, 1904-1999). Image depicts an intricately detailed male figure. Full of value and depth. A handwritten graphite inscription at lower right reads, "Cadmus". This unframed piece measures approximately 11.75" x 8.75".
Paul Cadmus (American, 1904-1999) was born on New York's Upper West Side. His work often generated controversy for its homoerotic undertones, though he enjoyed an extensive career that delved into painting, murals, and photography. Ever fascinated by the male nude and human physiology, Cadmus is ranked among the best artists of our time.
