Even though art books are specially designed to bring attention to the art itself, this hardcover includes a ton of information about Elvgren's life, his mentors, contemporaries and predecessors. It's the finest collection of Elvgren pinups. The images are organized so that you can see when he used the same source image for different paintings and in several cases the original photographs of his models are included showing a unique behind-the-scenes glimpse into his process.

I'm a little disappointed. I don't care for the layout at all, 4 ladies crammed on a page, and why are some of the images so blurry? Cheap, but I got what I paid for at $13, so whatever.

This a great pictoral reference guide of Gil Elvgrens pin up girl art through the ages. Brilliant as an artists reference, for rockabilly chicks who want some style inspiraton, or for people who just love looking at pin up girls and admiring there cheeky beauty!

Beautiful book!
The paintings of the women are amazing and so beautifully done.
I love looking through this book, it never gets old.
I definately appriciate art like this, truly gorgeous.
It's not, however, a typical art book as although it is filled with beautiful pin ups on every page - it also has exerpts of writing about the artist himself.
Definately a must have.
