PaJaMa (Paul Cadmus, Jared & Margaret French)

Jared French, Provincetown
1940s

Vintage gelatin silver print. 11.1 x 16.4 cm. Titled by Paul Cadmus in pencil as well as collection stamp on the verso.

The name PaJaMa refers to the first letters of the first names of the artist's friends Paul Cadmus, Jared French and his wife Margaret Hoening French. In the late 1930s, the three visual artists formed a temporary artists collective for their photographic work. They are known for their intimate portrait studies and (homo)erotic nude studies, for which they themselves and people from their circle of friends were models.
