Review

Artist Gil Elvgren’s pin-up girls will undoubtedly be recognized by a wide audience: this poster book rediscovers this classic artist, and while its oversized, tall format may challenge shelving, it makes an eye-catching, irresistible display. Bright full-page poster examples form the foundation of an excellent coverage. -- Midwest Book Review

4.0 out of 5 stars The girl next door, sort of, October 25, 2009
This review is from: Pin-Up Poster Book: The Elvgren Collection (Paperback)

The sixteen Elvgren mini-posters in the 1995 book make it very comparable with a similar sized book from Brown & Bigelow The Best of Gil Elvgren which also has sixteen, published in 1999. Both books also have a few pages about Elvgren and his lovely pin-up paintings. I prefer the B&B book because it is a classier production, printed on better paper (with a 200 screen) and the pin-ups look fresher because they are dated from 1949 to 1961. This book has nine out of the sixteen from the forties and somehow Elvgren's compositions and color seems slightly dated when compared to his later work.

Although neither book says so the way the pin-ups have been presented, one to a page with generous margins, would allow you to cut them out and create your own Elvgren gallery. An innocent nostalgic look back.
