Paul Cadmus (1904-1999) Figure Studies on Blue Paper - American, Paul Cadmus 1904-1999. Dynamic and expressive life study by the late artist Paul Cadmus. Paul's piece here features five gestural sketches of the male nude rendered in white chalk and black conte on a rich blue laid paper. Each figure captures a different moment in motion—reaching upwards and grasping another figures head, crouching in a defensive stance and action forward—demonstrating Cadmus' masterful understanding of musculature, form, and kinetic line. Signed in upper center. Size 24 5/8” L x 18 1/8” W, Sight 22 1/4” L x 15 5/8” W Condition: Not reviewed outside of custom framing, no signs of wear, tears or sun bleaching.
