Howdy, kittens and dawgs! Typically I do a Wordless Wednesday feature. You can find my linky party at the end, but I’m don’t have any photographs of my own to share today. I’m locked into the #AprilA2Z challenge this month and I hope you stick around to enjoy today’s edition of All Things Vintage.
What is an Elvgren? Elvgren isn’t a what, but a who. Gillette Elvgren (March 15, 1914 – February 29, 1980) was an American painter who produced the work for many illustrated ads, but what he’s best known for his pinup girls. Allow me to share some of Elvgren’s eye candy.
(I do not own any of these images. I borrowed them from this internet source.)
This is a small taste of Elvgren’s work. For info on the images used, I found on the website: The Pinup Files. The art of seduction using a your girl-next-door with her sweet, wholesome appeal illustrated by Elvgren proves that little seen is better than seeing it all and this is why these images of everlasting quality for years to come.
Are you an Elvgren fan? Do you like collecting vintage pinup girl art?
A special thank you to the incredibly gifted A2Z Team who many are now my good friends.
