 - Pin-Ups. Night and Day

Title: Pin-Ups. Night and Day
Description: Flammarion, 2015. Hardcover. Pp: 160. This lovely gift book - available in three striking cover options that will be shipped to customers at random - will beguile a new generation with flirtatious representations of femininity from the 1940s and 50s. Illustrations of irresistible pinup models bring teasing frivolity to a range of everyday situations, organized thematically from morning to evening. From sun-kissed beauties at the beach to ski bunnies hitting the slopes, bedside nurses ready to take your temperature to scantily clad runaways, rakish shipmates to not-so-conscientious secretaries, these smiling cuties are ready for fun. Representations of women who embrace their sexuality - flirtatious but never vulgar - have been around since the late nineteenth century, but the pin-up genre skyrocketed into popularity during World War II. The penny arcade trading cards originally viewed on a peep-show style reel and reproduced here as detachable illustrations feature both established pin-up artists and those waiting to be rediscovered. Each illustration is accompanied by a humorous and memorable celebrity quote. ISBN: 9782080202215. Cond./Kwaliteit: Ramsj.
