"12 Gorgeous Glamour Girls" From the mid 1930's through 1972,Elvgren produced over five hundred paintings of beautiful women. This collection was printed by Louis F. Dow between 1937 and 1944.
Gil Elvgren (1914-1980) was the most important pin-up and glamour
artist of the twentieth century. During his professional career, which
began in the mid 1930s and lasted more than forty years, he established
himself as the clear favorite of pin-up collectors and fans worldwide.
Although most of his work was created for commercial use, it has been
increasingly recognized as "real" art by many private collectors,
dealers, galleries and museums. And indeed, though Elvgren has been
considered as mainly a pin-up artist this last half-century, in reality
he deserves recognition as a classical American illustrator whose
career encompassed many different fields of commercial art. He was
always a master in portraying feminine beauty, but his output was by no
means confined to the calendar pinup industry. (Information obtained from the website www.Gilelvgren.com)
