4.0 out of 5 stars
Size does Matter!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Alberto Vargas: The Esquire Years (Vignettes) (v. 1) (Paperback)
I came across pin-ups during my studies in history in college. And that's where I fell in love with Vargas' Women. Never before had I feasted my eyes on such beauty and innocence which he had the ability to create. "The Esquire Years, (Vignettes)is a beautiful book depicting most of his works. I've never seen a more complete collection of Vargs' work ever before printed. The one problem I had was the extremely small size of the book. I had hoped that this book would be much larger, at least 8X11". If the size was somewhat larger I would've enjoyed this beautifully done book much more. In this situation size does matter when it is a Vargas!

At $10, easily worth the money,
This review is from: Alberto Vargas: The Esquire Years (Vignettes) (v. 1) (Paperback)
Like Vignettes 2, I wish this was bigger. The book is small and that is the only reason it didn't get the full 5 stars. None of the artwork is repeated on the 2 VIGNETTE books so get them both. Vargas is my favorite artist and this book shows a lot of examples of his WWII era art. A lot of these pin-ups also appeared on the WWII bombers. There are about 30 works represented and they are all beautiful.The book has a nice set-up as the pinups are printed nicely with good color reproduction. I use them as reference for painting nose art on A-2 flight jackets and the quality really allows me to get some really nice detail for my purposes. At $10 it is worth getting but I would also recommend VARGA by Robothman which is a lot bigger format so it really allows you to fully appreciate the art with the bigger format. Also, check out THE GREAT AMERICAN PIN-UP as that has a lot of pin-up artists represented and shows the rich history of Pin-Up art

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Alberto Vargas: The Esquire Years (Vignettes) (v. 1) (Paperback)
Being a Vargas/retro art fan, I think this is a very nice book. Better if it was not smaller than the average paperback --- I dislike oversize coffee table size but can't they make something in between?
