| Additional Information: | Behold the original lithographic Petty Pin-up, a unique vertical format piece. The see-through bathing suit she dons seems to make her glow, especially with her red hair peeking from under the big sun hat. And those high heels! Petty's girls, like this one, were often featured in pin-up calendars, but this one is a standalone beauty, as you can tell from its size. It's in very good condition, with only slight foxing around the edges, adding to its unique charm. Linen backed in fine condition. No restoration and no damage to the poster. Ready to frame. George Petty was a prominent American illustrator known for his iconic pin-up art during the mid-20th century. His pinup posters, often featuring glamorous and seductive women, became emblematic of the pin-up genre, particularly during World War II. George Petty's curvy Pin-ups are not just art, they are a source of inspiration! He was a pioneer among the top “cheesecake” illustrators of the 30s and 40s. His career began with a series of cartoons that featured beautiful girls, setting the stage for his iconic pin-ups. His work coined “Petty Girls“ to describe the carefully airbrushed girls with brilliant smiles and sexy poses. His work contributed to the "pin-up culture" of the 1940s and 1950s, where these images served as a form of entertainment and escapism for soldiers and civilians alike. They embodied the spirit of femininity and empowerment during a time when women were increasingly stepping into roles traditionally held by men.
