Krátky popis
One big slice of cheesecakePin-up travels the long road from
barracks wall to high artIn the 15 years since TASCHEN released The
Great American Pin-up, international interest in this distinctly
American art form has increased exponentially. Paintings by leading
artists such as Alberto Vargas, George Petty, and Gil Elvgren that
sold for $ 2,000 in 1996 are going for $ 200,000 and more today.
Pin-up: drawings, paintings and pastels of an idealized female face
and figure intended for public display, was produced between 1920
and 1970, for use on calendars, and magazine covers and
centerfolds. The majority of original paintings were discarded by
publishers and calendar companies after printing, making the
surviving art that much more precious. Today it s popularity is
huge, and ripe for an equally huge and truly comprehensive
collector s edition.Formidably sized, The Art of Pin-up is an
impressive book that will be coveted by casual fans as well as
hardcore pin-up collectors. The top 10 artists are profiled in
depth. Each chapter opens with a tipped-in reproduction of an
original calendar or magazine cover by that artist. The
reproduction quality of the paintings, pastels, and preparatory
sketches that follow largely sourced from the original art invites
the viewer to trace the brush strokes, while the exquisite period
calendars, vintage prints, and original model photos document the
artists creative process. Much of these ephemera were photographed
on-site at the historic Brown &,amp, Bigelow Company, home to
the world s largest archive of vintage pin-up calendars.In addition
to the chapters on the 10 featured artists, the book includes
thumbnail bios and representative art of 80 additional artists, the
most complete compendium of pin-up artists ever compiled. All this
adds up to a hard-to-beat book on this popular subject.
