Depuis que TASCHEN a publié The Great American Pin-up il y a quinze ans, l’intérêt que suscite cette forme d’art typiquement américaine dans le monde a augmenté de manière exponentielle. Des peintures de grands artistes du genre comme Alberto Vargas, George Petty et Gil Elvgren qui se vendaient 2000$ en 1996 atteignent aujourd’hui 200.000$ et plus. L’art du pin-up, dessins ou peintures de jolies filles presque nues, a été produit entre 1920 et 1970, mais beaucoup d’œuvres ont été jetées par les éditeurs et les imprimeurs de calendriers après impression. Aujourd’hui, on se les arrache: il était temps de proposer une édition collector conséquente. Avec son format imposant, The Art of Pin-up est un livre impressionnant qui sera convoité par les amateurs de pin-up aussi bien que les collectionneurs chevronnés. Les dix artistes majeurs du genre sont présentés en détail. La qualité de reproduction des peintures, pastels et esquisses ― pour la plupart réalisées à partir de l’œuvre originale ― permet au spectateur d’apprécier le moindre coup de pinceau dans les reproductions pleine page. Chaque chapitre contient de savoureux calendriers, des tirages vintage, ainsi que des photos des modèles originaux, illustrant le processus créatif des artistes. La plupart de ces documents éphémères ont été photographiés dans les locaux de la société historique Brown & Bigelow, qui abritent les archives les plus importantes au monde dédiées aux calendriers vintages de pin-up. Après les 10 chapitres consacrés aux artistes présentés dans cet ouvrage, le livre se termine par une «Encyclopédie des Pin-up», comprenant des vignettes biographiques et des œuvres d’art représentatives de 85 artistes supplémentaires, faisant de ce livre le recueil d’artistes de pin-up le plus complet jamais proposé. Difficile de faire mieux dans ce domaine!

In the 15 years since TASCHEN released The Great American Pin-up, international interest in this distinctly American art form has increased exponentially. Pin-up, defined as drawings or paintings of pretty girls that stop short of frank nudity, was produced between 1920 and 1970, and much of it was discarded after printing. Today it's huge, and ripe for an equally huge and truly comprehensive collector's edition. Formidably sized, The Art of Pin-up is an impressive book that will be coveted by casual fans as well as hardcore pin-up collectors. The reproduction of the paintings, pastels, and preparatory sketches was largely sourced from the original art.
