Egbert Cadmus (1868-1939), Paul Cadmus' father, was born in Bloomfield, New Jersey, and trained during the 1890s at the National Academy of Design in New York. His study of Renaissance and Classical art is evident in these Academic drawings, while the lessons he received from the best known of instructors at the time, Robert Henri, are readily apparent in his light-dappled, richly-colored watercolors. During the early 1900s, Cadmus worked as a commercial artist to support his family. He moved to Lyme, Connecticut in 1931 and became a central member of the Old Lyme Art Association, known for its close group of Impressionist artists.
Ex-collection Paul Cadmus; Jon F. Anderson and Philis Raskind-Anderson, Connecticut.
