5.0 out of 5 stars Moments in the lives of Intricately Related People, March 8, 2005

This review is from: Collaboration: The Photographs of Paul Cadmus, Margaret French and Jared French (Hardcover)

This book is one of the rare photographic essays that concentrates on the lives of artists whose lives were so intertwined that the history of it all is like a novel. Margaret French and Jared French were particularly fine photographers and were able to capture the special moments of intimacy and extroversion such as that seen on Fire Island in such a way that each picture is woven into the framework of occult affairs! There are many photos of painter Paul Cadmus as well as Jared French, Lincoln Kirsten, George Platt Lynes that suggest a filial society not unlike that of Auden and his crew or Bacon and friends.

Included in this survey of candid and not so candid photographs are reproductions of some of Paul Cadmus' paintings that are only now enjoying the popularity they justly deserve. This is a peek into a private party that is a voyeur's dream: would that we could capture the interlocking lives of every group of artists who influenced each other's works and lives!

highly recommend this collection of photographs to anyone who is interested in stunning pictures, most of these were taken as stylized snapshots, not intended for public exhibition, by a group of extraordinary friends including George Platt Lynes, Paul Cadmus, George Tooker, Lincoln Kirstein, Jared French. The pictures hold their own among the best of 1940's photography.
