Cowgirl Pin Ups

Gil Elvgren's paintings are second in value only to originals by Vargas. Gil Elvgren was an American painter of pin-up girls, advertising and illustration. Elvgren was one of the most important pin-up and glamour artists of the 20th century.

In 1937, Gil began painting calendar pin-ups for Louis F. Dow, one of America's leading publishing companies, during which time he created about 60 works. Around 1944, Gil was approached by Brown and Bigelow, a firm producing calendars and advertising specialties.

Elvgren was a commercial success. His clients ranged from Brown and Bigelow, Coca-Cola, General Electric and Sealy Mattress Company. In addition, during the 1940s and 1950s he illustrated stories for a host of magazines, such as The Saturday Evening Post and Good Housekeeping.

His vintage pinup cowgirls are as popular today as the day he painted them.
