Date Sold 1/21/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 12 Alberto Vargas 3 1/2" x 4" calendar prints. Note that each of the prints is in a sleeve with a board backing. We think they are likely from an ad for the calendar that showed all 12 images on a single sheet, and that someone cut them apart and then put each in a bag and board, but that is just a guess. Alberto Vargas was a Peruvian artist from the 1920s to the 1980s. In the 1940s, he created a sexy "centerfold" for each issue of Esquire Magazine (they would fold out, and Hugh Hefner borrowed the idea in the 1950s for his Playboy Magazine, except he used photos instead of artwork), and his pin-up art was frequently used as "nose art" for many military aircraft during World War II. Vargas is often considered one of the most famous of the pin-up artists, and his paintings have sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars. He is often reputed to have worked as a poster artist on films such as Ziegfeld Follies, and The Sin of Nora Moran (which is frequently named as one of the greatest posters ever made). Note that the items in this lot are from 1948. We do not provide a list of these items, but there are images of all of them. Measurements: 3 1/2" x 4"Condition: very good.
