There are also some illustrated little fiction stories written in the style of the period included. Many of the artworks are presented creatively as if they were posters, book covers, magazine illustrations, etc.
#BOOK OF PINUPGIRLS MOVIE#
The content of both sections focuses on pin-up style images of women arranged by fashion styles of the 1930’s to 1950’s and highlights some of the prominent female movie stars of each period. At the mid point of the volume it flips its orientation 180 degrees so you turn it over and read it from the opposite side! it is divided into 2 parts - one half devoted to, so-called ‘good girl’ art and the other half to the ‘femme fatale’ genre. Instead it is actually devoted totally to the artwork of a single contemporary female artist: Maly Siri - who I have never heard of before! That fact notwithstanding - I found the book to be very enjoyable. Not exactly what I was expecting - I thought this was a book that presented a variety of artists & pin-up images from the past. I assure any other buyer that this book it well worth your time and you will enjoy the experience of reading it greatly. I have to admit this cover is my favorite of the two but not necessarily any better. The girl who wields her beauty and sexual energy like a power and is comfortable being herself, unleashed by convention or societal norms. The opposite side, or what is actually the second book, focuses on the "bad girls".
The "Gil Elvgrinesque" girls - pretty & innocent but inadvertently giving a peek of stocking & garter due to some mishap. One side of the book gives you a study on "good girl" pinups. It is a two sided book and within the pages are two different themes. The quality of the book itself is top notch and leaves absolutely nothing to be desired.
It gives insight into the pinup world and quite honestly, despite a fascination with pinup art that has lasted me a lifetime, gave me a few new perspectives to consider.
#BOOK OF PINUPGIRLS FULL#
Rather than a simple collection of Maly Siri's wonderful pinup girl art, it is a full fledged exploration of her creativity, inspiration, and vision.
