T25 Pin-Ups, Gil Elvgren by Louis K Meisel
Post-depression America was in desperate need of a defining iconography that would lift it out of the black and white doldrums, and it came in the form of Gil Elvgren's Technicolor fantasies of the American dream. His technique involved photographing models and then painting them into hyper-reality.
