Kirstein had championed him since 1934, when The Fleet's In!, a painting of sailors on shore leave, was removed from an exhibition at the Corcoran Gallery after protests from the Navy and made the young painter notorious.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCadmus worked slowly in egg tempera, the technique of the Italian Renaissance, and used it for subjects his contemporaries avoided: sailors and their pickups, bathers at Coney Island, the deadly sins as allegory, his own circle of friends and lovers. Kirstein reads him as a moralist and a classicist rather than a provocateur, and the book was part of the renewed attention Cadmus received in his last decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSigned by Cadmus.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paul Cadmus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67894715220285,"sku":"DI-031","price":340.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1024\/2857\/4013\/files\/unnamed_744383fe-9596-463e-b941-ea912bcd456b.jpg?v=1793689167","url":"https:\/\/docksideinterview.com\/products\/paul-cadmus-paul-cadmus-1984-signed","provider":"Dockside Interview","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
