From the publisher: "Cadmus has long been recognized as a superb draftsman of astonishing technical prowess and lyrical exuberance. Not since Michelangelo has any artist done so many studies of the male nude, a form that Cadmus delineates with the fluency, virtuosity and anatomical precision of the Renaissance masters...the images includes portraits, figure drawings, dancers, male and female nudes, nature drawings and still lifes...A special feature of the book is a separate catalogue raisonné of prints."
