Paul Cadmus's 'Jack Fontan, Cherry Grove, Fire Island' is a gelatin silver print from 1950 documenting another figure from the artist's Fire Island community. This portrait is part of Cadmus's larger body of work capturing the social and personal life of mid-century Fire Island. The photograph demonstrates the artist's skill in creating intimate character studies through the medium of black and white photography. The work contributes to an important historical record of queer life and community during this period.
