Individual Artists, Architecture, history, Art, Paintings 

Lincoln Kirstein, well known as the founding director of the New York City Ballet and the author of several books on the arts, brings the full measure of his knowledge and sensibility to his critical appreciation of Cadmus's achievement. Married to the artist'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. Also included are reviews, letters and other personal material, a concise biography, a complete chronological catalog of paintings, listing of public collections, awards and honors, and selected exhibitions of the works of Paul Cadmus. For Cadmus's ardent followers and collectors, this reprint of the 1984 edition now contains over 150 paintings, etchings, and drawings -- 86 pages of color -- and includes all of Cadmus's paintings since 1984. This comprehensive retrospective is the only major collection of his work now available. - from Amzon
