Gil Elvgren Art and Photography of Janet Rae, photos/pinups.
Amazing, he did not have to improve her body, she must have been stone cold fox.
I've been a fan of Elvgren's ever since as a young 'un I found a deck of cards with his girls on 'em.
And to be honests, I don't think I've seen a single pinup artist who could do what he did, Vargas included.
It's only a pity there was not really a market for nudes. He did a few of them, and they were stunning.

Nah ... I'd go for
Olivia DeBerardinis every time :-) OK, a little more graphic, sure ... bur perhaps the likes of Christos Achilleos or Nakamura would get a look-in too? Or Boris Vallejo, or Araida ... definitely Araida, or, or .... hmmmm ... long list starting there :-)
So, is this the actual photo he based it on? If so, he improved her looks in my opinion. And took ten years off her.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Elvgren is better than Vargas. Vallejo doesn't deserve to be mentioned.
So this Flickr site is kind of cool: it's Janet Rae's son and he's writing a book about her! COOL! :-)
ReplyDeleteI can actually draw and paint like this, I love his work.
