While grouping pinup artists together, it was quite a challenge finding many of the images online. Many of the pinups found either had no dimensions or no background information.
The artists and artwork that were included, however, were all unique. Before creating this exhibition, we saw pinup art as all the same. After creating this, we realized that each different artist had their own reasons for their art. Some specifically chose younger girls as models to create a more spunky and quirky image when others chose mature women to create a sophisticated appeal.
As curators of this exhibition, it was most interesting to find out that many of the pinup artists worked together. For example, the advertisers for Coke-A-Cola all created similar artwork just at different times. Connections between the pinup artists played a large role in making this exhibition operate so well.
Hope you enjoyed it!
