What is the Pin-Up Girl?

They were glamour models, fashion models or actresses who were usually illustrated by talented commercial artists who used a brush stroke to create a genre of seduction. To them the American female was both sexy and sweet. The innocent girl next door to the glamourous office secretary. The flirtatious woman in lingerie to one caught off guard with panties down by her ankles in playful embarrassment.

Pin-up artists took popular culture themes and turned them into their art. Pin-up models were depicted as cowgirls, sailors, or farm girls. Many of these pin-up artworks were published as calendars, magazine and newspaper advertisements back in the 1940's and stayed popular up to the 1960's.

Pop Culture – The Art Of Seduction

Often Hollywood celebrities considered by many as sex symbols in their day often posed before the cameras. The popular Betty Grable became the poster girl for many G.I.s during World War II. She once was quoted as saying, "I have got two reasons for success and I'm standing on both of them".

Pin-up artists took popular culture themes and turned them into their art. Many pin-up models were posed wearing suggestive costumes. Some were depicted as cowgirls, sailors, farm girls, the girl next door, the maid, yet in all poses these women appeared sexy, flirtatious, and glamourous.

Today pin-up art has created an industry of vintage clothing and retro style tattoos. The sexiness still exists seen on YouTube videos and blogs.

Who Doesn't Love Pin-Up Girls!

The PinUp Girls app is for those who love everything about this genre. From the pin-up artists, who made their living of this "art" of seduction to the magazine and calendar publishers who kept the popularity raging from the 1930's through the 1950's. The American landscape lifestyle was depicted as sensual and feminine by men who brought their artistic painterly hand to the work, yet couldn't help themselves from throwing in a little playfulness along the way.

Illustrators like Rolf Armstrong and Gil Elvgren to Art Frahm showed us the sweetness of the girl next door type to the sometimes sexy, voluptuous girl usually caught off guard with her underwear down by her ankles. These talented artists made their women glow with light, unpretentious, and masterly painted with the steady hand of a brush stroke.

Enoch Bolles showed us Art Deco society. Peter Driben gave us provocative poses of women showing thigh high stockings. Other pin-up girls appeared in patriotic military uniforms, in bathing suits, or in the workplace as teachers and secretaries.
