Emil Cadoo
Emil J. Cadoo (1926–2002) was an American photographer.
Early life[edit]
Following World War II, Cadoo used the GI bill to study Romance languages at Brooklyn College.[1] He later worked as a photojournalist.[1] Cadoo moved to Paris in the early 1960s.[1][2] In Paris he worked as a photojournlist for the French magazine Realites, and experimented in theater by writing a script.[3]
Career[edit]
Cadoo is known for his multiple exposure works, which were achieved both with in-camera and darkroom techniques.[1][2][4] He often photographed nudes.[4]
In 1964, the Evergreen Review published a series of his nude photos in the April–May edition. 21,000 copies of the magazine were subsequently seized by the Nassau County, New York vice squad.[5] The seizure was later deemed "unconstitutional" by three federal court judges, and all of the magazines were returned.[6]
Cadoo is known also for his photographs of Edith Piaf, who said of him that he was "not a photographer, but a poet with a camera".[7][8]
His work is included in the collections of the Getty Museum,[9] the Metropolitan Museum of Art,[10] and the Museum of Fine Arts Houston.[11]
