The Pin-Up Girl

Well forget the gratuitous rubbish from the 60's onwards, merely the artistic masterpieces of the golden age of "girlie Mags".
Today regarded a true pieces of collectable pop culture – the work of these men (and women) are now enjoying a resurgence in popularity – be they in the form of calendars, prints or watercolours.
Evocative for the time and a favourite of servicemen during the Second World War – the pin-up found their halcyon days between the mid to late 30’s right through to the early 50’s – before losing favour to more sordid and illicit images.
Regarded as relatively tame today – there remains extensive catalogues of work which included magazine covers, advertising and Hollywood – which affords us an insight into not only the artist but the times themselves.
