About This Item
New York: Rizzoli International Publications, 1989. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine / Very Good Plus. Wide Quarto, 10.75 in. x 10 in., pp. 144. Illustrated withcolor and black and white plates drawings. Olive green cloth boards with white title to front and gilt title to spine. Light rubbing to dustjacket edges. Protected in mylar. Paul Cadmus lived most of his life in a world that did not acknowledge the rights of LGBTQ+ people to live their lives freely and openly. But that did not stop him from maintaining long-term relationships with men throughout his life; when he died in 1999, he had been with his partner Jon Anderson for 34 years. Cadmus was also determined to be true to his art, even when it made his life difficult or made his work unpopular. In addition to overt homoeroticism, he frequently depicted Americans in ways that showed both a fondness for his fellow citizens and a keen observation of their flaws. (from MFA Boston).
