The pin-up stylings of Mr Alberto Vargas

 

Alberto Vargas is perhaps the best known and mostrespected of all the pin-up girl artists. Born inArequipa, Peru in 1896, he was the son of respectedportrait photographer Max Vargas. His father securedan apprenticeship for Vargas at Julien Studios inSwitzerland in 1915. However, Vargas soon decidedthat Europe during World War I was not the healthiestplace to be and so traveled to New York in 1916.After two lucky breaks, producing lobby paintings forZiegfield Follies in the 20's and Hollywood portraitsof stars in the 30's, Vargas wasapproached to provide artwork forthe newly started Esquire Magazinein 1940.Vargas was to produce hisartwork well into the 1970's,however it is generally held thathis best work was during the period1940 to 1947. This was the time ofthe 'Varga' girl, centerfolds andcalendar artwork produced mainlyfor Esquire magazine.

Guest im not witty

OK, so ive been wanting to drop some shit on this thread for a while. first this is all my "work", some of it is years old. some very recent. i dont like to paint big canvasses or take dope photos. basically what i do is doodle. babble if you will. occasionally ill spend alot of time on something, or paint a freight.. but usually i just pour out shit on random bits of paper. and NEVER throw anything away. most of this stuff is reeeal small too. much larger here in the scans than in reality. i like the delicacy of small drawings. someone once said good art should be like chinese food. it should only take minutes. i like that idea. i like my creativity to come out in farts, and ill treasure a napkin sketch like the fucking mona lisa bitches......so whatever. it aint complex, but its mos def the babble.
