A Return To 1950 Style Pinup Girls

By Robert Brown


There was no more exciting time than the 50s when America was moving into a more free and open-minded age. The 50s Pinup Girls encompass this in some of the most amazing photography and art of the times. I believe a key personality behind this evolution of style was Gil Elvgren, who during his life-time produced over five hundred paintings of Pin-up Dolls, which were turned into calendars, swap cards and of course - posters, Thus, leading to the name "Pin-up" and the ideal Pin-up Doll.

It also represented rebel and being different. For a two decade interval earlier than the pop artwork motion, summary art dominated the art world, with New York City as its center. Although summary artwork was an effectively favored artwork kind, it offered itself with an air of sophistication that made it inaccessible to the masses.

It is also derived from the Aryan word "ar" which means "to put together, " or "to join." Lastly, it also originated from the Greek terms "artizein" and "arkiskein" which means "to prepare, " and "to put together" respectively.

As implied by the given definitions, Art is never natural. It is neither made by nature or accidental. In fact, what distinguishes it from nature is the very fact that it is man-made.

It began appearing in the mass media, in advertising, movie posters and even on music album covers. It suddenly grew to become stylish and cool and plenty of celebrities began asking artists for his or her own. Marilyn Monroe's prints by Andy Warhol after her dying still remain some of the iconic prints ever. On account of its affiliation with celebrities and well-known icons and objects, in style artwork began to develop into more glamorous and refined over the years. Although it was mass produced and did not value much, it did handle to capture important adjustments in culture and society.

I have collected 50s pinup girls art for a very long time. There is nothing more fun than immersing yourself in this awesome period in time and this cool genre. It is the class and tastefulness of the posters and prints of this decade that is so alluring.

Another is they are a form of communication. Artworks do not just reflect beauty and history. They also send messages that can influence both man and society. They can be used as propaganda or campaign materials to gather attention or fuel a revolution.

Another gorgeous 50s pin up model was Anita Ekberg who was famous for her well-endowed curves. Bob Hope had joked that her parents had received the Nobel Prize for architecture while she was touring with him and William Holden in 1954 on entertainment trips for the troops.
