This lot of 47 vintage Pin-Up magazine covers from 1941 to 1956 features original artwork depicting women in a stylized and provocative manner. These covers were clipped from magazines and feature the front and back of the clipping. They were produced in the United States and showcase the retro glamor and sexuality that was popular during the mid-20th century. Perfect for collectors of vintage paper items or fans of classic Pin-Up art, this collection offers a glimpse into the cultural norms and aesthetics of that era. Individual covers can be displayed as a group or framed as unique pieces of vintage decor. Covers have trimmed edges cutting off some of the page edges, but cover art is intact. Driben Art and others are photos. 5.5" x 7.5".Peter Driben (October 22, 1903 - September, 1968), an American pin-up artist, was perhaps one of the most productive pin-up artists of the 1940s and 1950s. Although both Alberto Vargas and Gil Elvgren have extensive catalogues of work, neither came close to the output of Driben. Driben's pinups delighted the American public from the beginning of World War II until the great baby boom of the 1950s. Born in Boston, Driben studied at Vesper George Art School before moving to Paris (circa 1925). While taking classes at the Sorbonne in 1925, he began a series of highly popular pen-and-ink drawings of the city's showgirls. His first known pin-up was the cover to La Paree Stories in March 1934.
