Pin-Up The Illegitimate Art TP

Description

Finally, a second book on glamour art by the author/artist of Bettie Page: Queen of Hearts. Now, for the first time, Jim Silke shares his hilarious first-person account of life as a ‘pinup’ artist — from the comic-strip vixens that influenced his youth, to his real-life adventures photographing Hollywood’s most beautiful starlets and models, to his slaving over magical images of Bettie Page, Brigitte Bardot, and a host of other beauties. Lavishly illustrated with over 100 new images by Silke and classic ‘girl artists’ George Petty, Coby Whitmore, Enoch Bolles, Al Parker, Rolf Armstrong, and others. Pinup: The Illegitimate Art is a delightful, sharp, insightful look at the ‘bedtime babies,’ ‘devil women,’ and ‘bare-naked ladies’ that grace the walls — and hearts — of red-blooded lady lovers the world over.
