About the Item

Silver print, titled (verso) by Paul Cadmus, 11cm x 13cm, (33cm x 38cm framed). the work is framed behind museum quality non-reflective UV glass. In 1937, the painters, Paul Cadmus, Jared French and Margaret French began to experiment with a camera during summers on Fire Island, Provincetown and New York. They studied themselves and their friends over a period of 20 years. As Cadmus years later recounted, 'After we'd been working most of the day, we'd go out late afternoons and take photographs when the light was best. They were just playthings. We would hand out these little photographs when we went to dinner parties, like playing cards' (Jerry Rosco, Glenway Wescott Personally: A Biography, p. 78). Photographs by PaJaMa are rare as they were printed and gifted sparingly. This images depicts Jared French, known to them as Jerry.

The picture depicts the artists Paul Cadmus and George Tooker, the photographer, George Platt Lynes, and publisher, Monroe Wheeler. The painter Paul Cadmus (1904 - 1999) and married artists Jared (1902 - 1989) and Margaret French (1906 - 1998) comprise the photographic collaborative known by their acronym, PaJaMa. Beginning in 1937, and over the course of nearly two decades, the trio collectively staged photographs set against the backdrops of Fire Island, Provincetown, and Nantucket, among other locations. Their psychologically and sexually charged images often served as studies for the artists' subsequent paintings and works on paper.
