By Gil Elvgren.
Sculpted by Steve West. Numbered, 500. An exclusive licensed
statue based on a 1963 oil painting by Elvgren, the best
pin-up artist the world has ever known. Sculpted by another
master of the female form, West, Suzanne strikes a sultry
yet playful pose atop a comfy white mattress and measures
7½" tall. Strictly limited, she is individually numbered
and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity in a full
color box.

Armstrong's
luminous portraits of famous actresses and idealized girls-next-door
made him one of the highest paid commercial artists in
America. His first calendar pin-up, created in 1919, defined
the vision of feminine beauty for the next 40 years. This
is the first major book ever devoted to his work and includes
all his work, from rare nudes to behind-the-scenes photos
of him and his models at work.

A delightful, sexy painting of Marilyn
Monroe, who posed several times for pin-up artist
Earl Moran. This captures her
youth as well as her voluptuous, sensual appeal, in a
sexy, revealing open vest and short shorts. Excellent
high quality lithograph on heavy paper.
