Gil Elvgren
Gil Elvgren (1914-1980 ) is one of America's most popular pin-up masters till this very day , his lush paintings of sexy young women in underware or without them are an American icon and were enormously popular during war world II .
His figures and locations are beautifully painted in vivid colors with "soft" realism unlike the more "technical" airbrush hard crisp lines . While Elvgren style is similar to that of Varga , his art doesn't show as much nudity and his pinups are mostly of lingerie , upskirts and other revealing positions which in that era were considered quite bold .I also like his naughty sense of light humor reflected in his pin up art as one still image sometimes tells a whole "story" .
