Alberto VargasSeductive Platinum Blond Hair and Blue Eyed Pin Up in Turquoise Hat 1950s
1950s
About the Item
Study of a sultry and seductive reclining platinum blond Pin Up with a wide-brimmed sun hat. Most likely done for Playboy. This work is very finely rendered and looks better the closer you view it. It was executed on tracing paper, with mild handling buckling and minor creases and with toning throughout. It looks different under different lighting situations. The color of the work will slightly change with different lighting situations. With a frontal light, it looks pretty normal and flat. The buckling is most significantly noticeable with side light or what they call in the industry "raking light ". Work is unframed. Estate stamp lower right. 20 x 26 inches sheet. Based on the bathing suit style, I would put this in the 1950s time frame.

- Pondering being Naked - Sexy Girl taking off Bikini - Female CartoonistLocated in Miami, FLThis work clearly has homosexual overtones which in the mid-'40s was as daring as showing nudity. I am not sure if this was the artist's intention but the salesgirl and the model look identical and she signs it twice Shermond. Added to this is a strobe light effect where the model's image is partly replicated giving the impression of 2 figures. She's lost in thought pondering the notion of removing the bows and seeing the consequences. Meanwhile, the sales girls ( perhaps her alta ego - perhaps an admirer ) eggs her on. Caption: "You can always remove the bows if you think they're too fussy." Cover cartoon for unknown publication - Signed "Shermund" twice in the lower right image, dated on verso, and captioned in graphite in the lower margin.
