Sirens: The Pin-Up Art of David Wright

Description

David Wright was one of the leading pin-up artists of the 20th Century. Unlike his American contemporaries Alberto Vargas and Gil Elvgren, the British-born Wright brought a sense of realism to his willowy beauties, who appeared in publications on both sides of the Atlantic, especially during WW2. Now, finally, access has been granted to his archive, and this is the first ever collection of his work.

Terry Parker is the author of Golden Hours - The Paintings of Arthur J. Elsley 1860-1952. He has dealt in pictures and prints for over twenty years, and writes catalogue notes for major auction houses and galleries in Britain and America (including Satheby's, Christie's, Bonhams, and the Richard Green Gallery).

"David Wright's women truly are beautiful and Sirens is a decidedly bonny body of his work, with enough variety to keep you engaged, and in my case, wanting more" - Illustrator's Lounge
