Alberto Vargas Art — An Original “Vargas Girl” Watercolor Painting — 18″ x 37.25″ — Painting Is From March 1948 Varga Pin-Up Calendar

Original “Vargas Girl” watercolor on board, Alberto Vargas art, which appeared as the March 1948 calendar pin-up girl in Esquire Magazine. Next to her portrait, Esquire quotes her as saying, “My boy friend often tells me / That our love is indestructible; Although I’m his biggest asset / It’s too bad I’m not deductible.” This watercolor is a beautiful example of Vargas’ aesthetic, whose pin-up girls became wildly popular during WWII and defined the genre of pin-up art collected today. During the 1940’s and 50’s, Vargas was considered an authority on the female form, and renowned for his airbrush techniques. He signs “Vargas” to the lower left of the 18″ x 37.25″ watercolor. Scattered light foxing and pin-holes to right edge at center, else near fine. Framed to an overall size of 28.25″ x 38.5″. Lot also includes an original 8.5″ x 12″ lithograph of the Varga Girl March 1948 calendar, published by Vargas Enterprises Inc.  Sold for $13,650.
