Especially when it comes to the art of pin-up. It is believed that this style arose in the 50s of the last century.
In fact, the prerequisites for its occurrence appeared even earlier. But in the form in which we know these frivolous and funny pictures today, they appeared precisely in those times. American is considered one of the most prominent pin-up style illustrators. Dale Kelly whose work we present to your attention.
One likes this style; others relate to him condescendingly. But be that as it may, these pictures are able to immerse the audience in the romance of the past - naive, light, slightly erotic and playful. The main character of such posters is the “ideal” and seductive girl, who now and then gets into all sorts of embarrassments. Cavaliers are always in a hurry to help a beautiful lady - because such a beauty is not a sin to help.
By the way, despite the fact that photography was invented long ago by that time, pin-up posters still depicted only painted girls. Often characters copied from real young ladies. But the artists were convinced: Such an effect can be achieved only with the help of a drawing, and a photograph is completely unnecessary here.
