1930s Art Review Paul Cadmus
Article Surfer
<— Prev    |    Next —>

Attached is an art review from the late 1930s about the American painter Paul Cadmus (1906 - 1999), one of the finest and most scandalous artists of the W.P.A.:

"Paul Cadmus was thrust into national prominence at the age of 26 when his canvas, 'The Fleets In', painted for PWAP in 1933, stirred up a storm of protest. Since then controversies have dogged his art but with them has come recognition...Like the contemporary writers Thomas Wolfe and Aldous Huxley the reaction of Cadmus against present day 'civilization' is one of repulsion tinged with hatred. This note of protest seems to be the battle cry of the younger generation of artists and writers. Mrs Overdressed Middle class to be viewed by the public..."

Pictured above is a segment of "The Fleet's In".
