Paul Cadmus was a fantastic draftsman, his artworks are a perfect example of the Florentine Structural Method, that he used to create gorgeous drawings of the human figure in incredible variety of poses: foreshortened, sitting, standing, at rest in action, and many portraits that capture expressions, beauty and mood of the sitter.
This session of “Drawing with…” is dedicated to this great modern Master, that kept alive and developed and re-proposed in modern key, a 500 years old drawing method that spans back to the Renaissance and is one of the fundamental drawing methods that any artist would enjoy and benefit from practicing.
