Gay Lovers at the Whitney Museum

[foxy]

Paul Cadmus and Jared French were lovers and created art from the late 1930’s through the early 1950’s.  They worked primarily in their studios in New York spending summers on the beaches of Fire Island, Provincetown and Nantucket.

Is this a current exhibit?

Yes on the 7th floor. There’s more on the walls that I’ve left out.

 Right now the Whitney is getting ready for the Biennial opening March 20.

I was just there yesterday!  Note that the eighth picture is a work painted by Jared French’s wife Margaret, who formed the “Ma” of their “PaJaMa” moniker.  Paul Cadmus’ sister married Lincoln Kirstein (google it for history-of-the-arts lessons), and so she & Margaret probably had a lot to discuss.

For those interested, there’s a show at the DC Moore Gallery of male nudes by Paul Cadmus on view only until March 16.
