Rolf Armstrong (1889-1960)
Rolf Armstrong was another famous artist Brown and Bigelow calendar. After the arrival of a trip to France in 1919, it opens a studio in Greenwich Village, where he painted the girls Ziegfeld Folly. Later, in Hollywood, all the big stars of the day posed for him. Popular actresses like Mary Pickford Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich and Katherine Hepburn have all been painted by him. " He even spoke of Boris Karloff to pose for him on the set of the original "Frankenstein".

He refused to work from photographs and has always been on the search for the perfect model. When Asked why he chose a model live on a picture, he said, "I want the person who lives opposite me. As I look again and again and again while I'm working, I get a thousand fresh, vivid impressions … all the lights, the exuberance and spontaneous joy that leaps from a young heart and happy. "

Armstrong pastel pin ups of his idealized, scantily clad, "Girl Next Door" have a distinctive character, the quality of light and shimmer to them. His paintings of health, nubile young women are some of the most memorable of all the famous illustrators. He truly a man of rare talent.

George Petty (1894-1975)
The Pin Up finally exploded into popular culture with the introduction of Esquire Magazine "Petty Girl" in 1933.

It was sublime talent! Students Minneapolis Institute of Art, he loved to paint girls who were new to the business of modeling. He believed until the pin ideal was a young girl with

Alberto Vargas (1896-1982)
The most prolific illustrator glamorous and famous of all time is Alberto Vargas. The son of Max Vargas, a famous photographer and gifted his own, learned to airbrush Alberto his father before he was a teenager. Most do not realize he was actually born in Peru, and did not come to the U.S. until 1916. He arrived at Ellis Island through Europe where he had been since 1911. While there, he studied in Geneva and in Zurich, and the weather had made its way here, he was already endowed with a talent coming into bloom.

A warm afternoon in May 1916, by painting a window for traders from the city center, he was approached by an employee of the Ziegfeld Follies and asked to show his work at great Ziegfeld himself.

Now, why this article was written … to talk of the most beautiful, wonderful round, perfectly proportioned, plus size, pear-shaped beauty Pin Up girl story: Duane Bryers "Hilda"

One night while prowling "Google Images" for content curves, I found myself at The Pin Up Toil's Big Beautiful Gallery. I clicked and followed his pleasure and curiously titled research links for the well-fed, women images I started last night in search of.

After I got to admire the talent, I went back to its home page and clicked on a cheerful teal and yellow banner with the name "Hilda" written across. I clicked on it, not at all prepared for what I see.

Once the page opened, I stopped and looked with astonishment. He was one of those moments where you see something with which you are completely set, the world around you seems to disappear, and everything goes completely silent as your attention is narrowed, taking in what is in front of you.

Discover Hilda was like the discovery a lost treasure. I recognized immediately. I remind him that a perfect resemblance of what I had for years idealized in the female form, round, soft, pear-shaped, bold, and well done to the extreme.

If his natural instinct is to meet male round, softer, more generously proportioned woman, you will understand why there is so much to love her. In his long legs soft face girl, plump, inviting arms, hips, round and wide, you see a vision of femininity forming in front of you. Add to that suit, the breasts developed, soft, belly and glorious performance size-hip ratio, and you discover it is an ideal example of perfection all over their faces. The perfect size, more pear-shaped,
nubile beauty.

Unlike stick-thin, female icons if popular today, Hilda did not characteristic angle. It embodies the old ideals sublimely feminine 'round and soft. It is feminine to the nth degree.

Duane Bryers was the first illustrator to use models in size as the subjects in his pinup art. Sometimes he did not use a model all painted with memory or fantasy. A feat, according to the pin-up artist Toil, "the most impressive!"

"Hilda" is owned by Brown and Bigelow
