Book Description

NY: Barnes & Noble, 2005. Gil Elvgren provided technicolor fantasies of the American Dream, a bright red white and blue vision of the country's aspirations and hopes. From the late 30s to the early 70s, he painted posters and ad art for such clients as Coke, Pangburn's Chocolates, General Electric and Sealy Mattress. During the 40s and 50s, he also illustrated stories for such magazines as The Saturday Evening Post and Good Housekeeping. But he's best-known for the long-running Brown and Bigelow calendars featuring luscious models usually portrayed as wholesome girls-next-door in "caught by chance" poses that were all the more erotic for their apparent innocence -- the forerunner to the Playboy pin-up. This is a reprint of the Taschen book of 2003. 271 pp. . ISBN: 0760775923. First US Edition. Large Trade Paperback. New/New. Art, Pin-ups, Erotica, Calendar Art, Posters.
