Why Elvgren is the master of Pinup Art,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Best of Gil Elvgren (Paperback)
The perfect pinup consists of the skillful presentation of two contradictory conditions: youthful innocence and latent sensuality.Better than all of his contemporaries,Gil Elvgren has achieved this difficult goal. His philosophy: Sweetness can be sexy, Innocence can be sexy, and Shyness can be devastatingly aggressive. This book is a magnificent presentation of that philosophy. In the harmonious blending of his basic elements, Elvgren's works represent the apotheosis of pinup art. "Best of Elvgren" is a MUST for all collectors.

This review is from: The Best of Gil Elvgren (Paperback)
This book has a short introduction to the artist and then jumps quickly into 16 large, color plates featuring some of Gil's best. A great book to get some excellent examples of his work.
