ART OF PIN UP (TASCHEN 40TH) (HB)

Since Taschen released The Great American Pin-up, international interest in this distinctly American art form has increased exponentially. Pin-up?drawings, paintings, and pastels of an idealized female face and figure intended for public display?was produced between 1920 and 1970 for calendars, magazine covers, and centrefolds. The majority of original paintings were discarded by publishers and calendar companies after printing, making the surviving art that much more precious. This edition showcases the top 10 names in the game.
