  • Rolf Armstrong Biography
    ARTIST BROCHURE Decorate Your Life™ ArtRev.com Rolf Armstrong Rolf Armstrong is best known for the calendar girl illustrations he produced for Brown and Bigelow's Dream Girl in 1919. Sometimes labeled the father of the American pin-up, his pastel illustrations set the glamour-art standard for feminine beauty that would dominate the genre for the next four decades. He was also noted for his portraits of silent film and motion picture stars as well as for his pin-ups and magazine covers. Armstrong was born in 1889 in Bay City, Michigan and settled in Bayside, New York on the shore of Little Neck Bay, while keeping his studio in Manhattan. His interest in art developed shortly after his family moved to Detroit in 1899. His earlier works are primarily 'macho' type sketches of boxers, sailors, and cowboys. Armstrong had previously been a professional boxer and accomplished seaman, and the ruggedly handsome artist was seldom seen without his yachting cap. He continued to sail his entire life and could be found sailing with movie stars such as James Cagney when the Armstrongs were in California. In fact, he was a winner of the Mab Trophy with his sailing canoe "Mannikin" and competed in other events at the Canoe championship of America held in the 1000 Islands in New York. Armstrong left Detroit for Chicago to attend the Art Institute of Chicago. While he was there he taught baseball, boxing, and art. New York became Armstrong's next home and magazine covers became his primary focus. His first was in 1912 for Judge magazine.

  • Women Pin-Up Artists of the First Half of the Twentieth Century While M
    Running Head: ALL AMERICAN GIRLS 1 All American Girls: Women Pin-Up Artists of the First Half of the Twentieth Century While male illustrators including Alberto Vargas (1896–1982), George Petty (1894–1975), and Gil Elvgren (1914–80) are synonymous with the field of early-twentieth-century pin-up art, there were, in fact, several women who also succeeded in the genre. Pearl Frush (1907–86), Zoë Mozert (1907–93), and Joyce Ballantyne (1918–2006) are three such women; each of whom established herself as a successful pin-up artist during the early to mid-twentieth century. While the critical study of twentieth-century pin-art is still a burgeoning field, most of the work undertaken thus far has focused on the origin of the genre and the work of its predominant artists who have, inevitably, been men. Women pin-up artists have been largely overlooked, which is neither surprising nor necessarily intentional. While illustration had become an acceptable means of employment for women by the late-nineteenth century, the pin-up genre of illustration was male dominated. In a manifestly sexual genre, it is not surprising that women artists would be outnumbered by their male contemporaries, as powerful middle-class gender ideologies permeated American culture well into the mid-twentieth century. These ideologies prescribed notions of how to live and present oneself—defining what it meant to be, or not be, respectable.1 One of the most powerful systems of thought was the domestic ideology, which held that a woman’s moral and spiritual presence was key to not only a successful home but also to the strength of a nation (Kessler-Harris 49).

Canadian Magazine Illustrators at Home and in the United States, 1880-1960 by Shannon Jaleen Grove Doctor of Philosophy in Art History and Criticism Stony Brook University 2014 This dissertation analyzes nationalisms in the work of Canadian magazine illustrators in Toronto and New York, 1880 to 1960. Using a continentalist approach—rather than the nationalist lens often employed by historians of Canadian art—I show the existence of an integrated, joint North American visual culture. Drawing from primary sources and biography, I document the social, political, corporate, and communication networks that illustrators traded in. I focus on two common visual tropes of the day—that of the pretty girl and that of wilderness imagery.

    Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo Artigo História III Pin-Ups: The American Way of Art Jéssica Cavalcante Schussel Tássia Lorenzini Varani Alunas do curso de Relações Internacionais da PUC/SP. Trabalho de avaliação final apresentado na disciplina VA3, História da América no segundo semestre de 2010. São Paulo 2010 Introdução A América sempre provocou grande atração nas pessoas ao redor do mundo1. A vontade de conhecer, morar e viver como um americano permeia os pensamentos de vários indivíduos. Mas o que os Estados Unidos da América têm de tão especial? Desde que se lançaram no cenário internacional os Estados Unidos conseguiram reunir vários aspectos (econômico, político e social) para que se consolidassem como expoente e potência mundial. E tais aspectos causam atração no mundo inteiro. Se formos analisar a história americana, seus valores, costumes e hábitos, veremos que não há nada de rebuscado e fino como o antigo centro do mundo, a Europa. O motivo disso vem desde a colonização do território, já que sua primeira população eram os puritanos expulsos da Inglaterra que repudiavam tudo que fosse europeu. Se perguntassem o que mais chama a atenção de alguém nos EUA, certamente as respostas seriam múltiplas e variadas. Esse elemento mágico, por mais contraditório que pareça se deve, principalmente, à simplicidade com que os americanos criam, vivem, trabalham e produzem. Contraditório porque à primeira vista destoa da idéia de alta cultura elaborada, grande literatura e magníficas obras de arte. Nesse espírito de simplicidade é que nasce a “arte americana”. Entre aspas, pois o que os Estados Unidos criaram como arte é tão simples e singelo que não parece ser uma arte como estamos costumados a ver.

  • Pittore Inglese (Londra 1922 E Ivi Morto Nel 2011)
    HAMILTON RICHARD (Inghilterra) Pittore inglese (Londra 1922 e ivi morto nel 2011). Ha studiato nelle Royal Academy schools, poi alla Slade School. Nel 1952 è stato fra i membri fondatori dell'Independent Group. Amico e allievo di Duchamp, ha svolto un ruolo originale nell'ambito della pop art. Le sue opere, basate sulla tecnica del riporto fotografico, raffigurano particolari ingranditi di oggetti, o foto di cronaca e pubblicitarie, con effetti di ironico straniamento (Just what it is that makes homes so diffe- rent, so appealing?, 1956, Londra, Whitechapel art gallery) accentuati nelle opere più tarde da colori lividi e metallici. Fra le numerose retrospettive di cui è stato protagonista si ricorda quella alla Tate Gallery di Londra nel 1992, con la pri- ma esposizione completa della sua opera, la Introspectiva al Museu d'Art Contemporani di Barcellona (2003), e l'esposi- zione alla Serpentine Gallery di Londra (2010). Nel 1993 gli è stato assegnato il Leone d'oro per la pittura alla Biennale di Venezia. FILATELIA ZANZIBAR HARRIS MABEL ROLLINS (USA) Fu un’artista specializzata in pin-up, arte glamour e giovani ragazze. Elogiata come "Indubbiamente il miglior illu- stratore femminile dell'era Art Deco " in The Great American Pin-Up di Charles G. Martignette, i meravigliosi pastelli di Harris sono stati ammirati per la loro morbidezza, brillantezza e bagliore porcellana. Ha lavorato su tele tese e, indi- pendentemente dal soggetto, i suoi lavori sono in media di 18 x 22 pollici. Dalla fine degli anni '20 fino ai primi anni '40, il suo lavoro è stato ampiamente utilizzato su calendari, biglietti di auguri e riviste, ed è stato anche riprodotto su puzzle e fan.
