American Pin Up by Charles G Martignette
They've been exciting generations of men, on calendars and covers, as centrefolds or even on playing cards: pin-ups. This book tells the tale of a genre as utterly American as the paintings of Edward Hopper, describing its origins and development in detail and showcasing the most important artists. It includes over 900 illustrations.
Charles G. Martignette was an art dealer and collector of original paintings by 20th century American illustrators and artists.

Paintings from his collection have been exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution as well as many other American and European museums. Charles G. Martignette died in 2008 in Hallandale, Florida.
