Product Description
Post-depression America was in desperate need of a defining iconography that would lift it out of the black and white doldrums, and it came in theform of Gil Elvgren's Technicolor fantasies of the American dream. His technique-which earned him a reputation as "The Norman Rockwell of cheesecake"-involved photographing models and then painting them into gorgeous hyper-reality, with longer legs, more flamboyant hair and gravity-defying busts, and in the process making them the perfect moral-boosting eye-candy for every homesick private.

5 out of 5 stars Interesting Book   July 19, 2008
I'm still studying and reading through it, but it has an interesting magic that's missing in many of today's similar subjects - innocence.


5 out of 5 stars The product is just as gorgeous as the subject matter!   July 15, 2008
This book is absolutely beautiful. Lots and lots of color - designed and bound very well. Worth every penny and then some. Impressed with Amazon's service (my first order) and the whole shopping/purchase experience here.


5 out of 5 stars great quality, great value, great buy!   July 12, 2008
I highly recommend this to anyone with an interest in Elvgren or pin-ups. Beautiful picture quality, comprehensive collection. For the money, you can't get much better than this!


5 out of 5 stars WOW   May 30, 2008
Elvgren is a master of his art. This book truly is a gem at this price. If you love pinup art he is the master. Its a slice of days gone past and pretty girls to write home about. Elvgren will live on forever. Take a piece of history home.


5 out of 5 stars Gorgeous book.   April 29, 2008
If you love this era of art, this is a beauty. Great coffee table book to spark conversation.
