	The Art and Life of Gil Elvgren
		Elvgren was particularly proud of one Coca-Cola Girl painting that he created for a full-page national magazine ad, and requested that the original artwork be returned to him, later giving it to his friend Al Buell.
		Elvgren kept a comprehensive tear-sheet file on these advertisements, as he felt their composition and handling of color was quite progressive for the time.Dorne was elected president of the Society of Illustrators and became founder-director of the Famous Artists Schools in Westport, Connecticut.
		Elvgren and his studio assistant, Ewen Lotten, were pictured positioning 18-year-old pin-up model Pat Varnum on a special set that Elvgren had built in his studio solely for the purpose of photographing this one model for one calendar-painting assignment.

		Gil Elvgren has joined the ranks of Petty and Alberto Vargas as one of the premiere American pin-up artists...the Norman Rockwell of cheese-cake.
		Elvgren looked for models with vitality and personality, and chose young girls who were new to the modelling business.
		Gil Elvgren's paintings lend credence to the phrase, "A picture is worth one thousand words." His 30" by 24" oils on stretched canvas are second in value only to originals by Vargas.

	Touchable feature on Gil Elvgren
		Born in 1914 in St. Paul, Minnesota Gil Elvgren is possibly the foremost painter of sensuality through using models who possess a ‘girl-next-door’ quality.
		Elvgren originally started studying as an architect towards which he was encouraged by his parents.
		Elvgrens paintings should never be viewed as cheesecake art but looked at for the little things one generally never notices.

		Elvgren would have rivaled Rockwell in painting the idyllic family life images if he had not found his niche in pin-up girls.
		Gil's father was a Swedish immigrant who owned a paint store in St. Paul with an art supply section in the back; his father passed on his artistic talents and lifelong love for art to his son.
		Elvgren graduated in the mid-30s, and is still seen as one of the Academy's "golden boys." His first professional job was with Brown & Bigelow, the top calendar producers.

		Gil Elvgren, perhaps not as well known as George Petty or Alberto Vargas, has in recent years been called "the Norman Rockwell of Cheesecake".
		Although the Varga Girl or Petty Girl have become synonymous with the pin-up girl it is probably the images of Gil Elvgren with the girl next door, caught in a compromising position that most typify the calendar girl genre.
		Elvgren defined the sexually atractive girl next door, a fantasy female with rosy cheeks and ample curves.

	City Pages - Skirts Ahoy!
		The Elvgren Girl's fashion sense is impeccable, but she does not know how to dress for cold weather, and her clothes tend to fall off at the most inopportune moments.
		Elvgren, who had by then established his reputation with the St. Paul calendar giant Brown and Bigelow, painted pinup images that could be folded easily into mailing pouches for the lonely boys overseas.
		Elvgren's Brown and Bigelow work was of two general types: "flip" calendars featuring twelve generic images, and themed advertising work meant for billboards, playing cards, or complimentary calendars sent to clients.

		Elvgren started producing pin-up girls in 1937 for the publishing company Louis F. Dow, however in 1944 he moved to Brown and Bigelow who offered $1000 per pin-up, substantially more than he was getting at Dow.
		However Elvgren soon branched out into other forms of commercial art, amongst them adverts for Coca Cola, Ovaltine and others.

		However, the emphasis certainly is on the female form, and Elvgren's depictions of busty, leggy gals were the envy of everyone in his field.
		Elvgren should not be romanticized as striking a blow against unrealistic standards for women -- "Elvgren Girls," as they were called, were idealized just like today.
		The Elvgren Girl also had a heavy dose of bimbo in her, often portrayed in silly situations -- who could imagine there were so many things on which a woman could catch her skirt and have it lifted to panty-and-garter-exposing height?

		Known as "the Norman Rockwell of pin-ups," Elvgren lent is lush oils, well-learned from mentor Haddon Sundblom, to an stream of girl-next-door beauties.
		Like Sundblom, Elvgren had a successful career in advertising and, to a lesser degree, magazine work.
		Ford's "crystal ball" ads of the '40s depicted a happy, car-centered future when combat was a memory and cars would be new, plentiful, and, as usual, all-American.

		As you know, Gil Elvgren is today considered primarily as a notable figure among American pin-up artists of the 1940s and 1950s.
		By the late 1930s, Elvgren (1914-1980) had established a budding career as an illustrator and calendar artist.
		However, it appears that his artistic ambitions weren’t satisfied by this type of work, and, in a dramatic move he gave up illustration for six months at the height of the Depression and focused on easel paintings.
