In the early 20th century, a distinctly American visual art style was developed by Peruvian-born artist Alberto Vargas. Decades later, his artwork would be featured weekly in publications such as Esquire and Playboy.
The beautiful, highly stylized women that he painted would later come to be known as 'The Vargas Girls'. These images would find themselves in all sorts of places in the early 1900s, from magazines to ads, to posters, and most famously, World War II airplanes.
Soon enough, artists inspired by his work started creating works of their own taking notes from his signature style. While Vargas wasn't the only famed pin-up artist of his day, as Gil Elvgren and George Petty also deserve a mention, his Vargas Girl brand is widely considered to be the pinnacle example of the pin-up genre. Beyond that, he helped put many of the girls that he painted on the map.
Join us as we take a look at the real-life women that contributed their likenesses to what has become a cultural touchstone of sorts in the decades since Vargas first created his iconic, signature style. Many of these female stars were performers with the Ziegfeld Follies, although a few of them were modeled by Vargas much later in his career. Vargas ultimately died after having a stroke on December 30, 1982 at the age of 86.
