Book Description
グラマーアーティスト、アルベルト・ヴァーガスの伝説的かつ騒然としたキャリアは、1920年代のフロレンス・ジーグフェルド・フォリーズから30年代のハリウッド、そして40年代のエスクァイア誌と「ヴァーガ・ガール」の出現、そして最終的60年代、70年代にプレイボーイ誌に落ちつくまでにわたっている。
本書は、ここ10年来初めて出版されたヴァーガス作品集である。また、目のさめるようなオリジナル画の数々と、プレイボーイ誌における最も優れた作品を初めて収録している。非常に需要の多いこれらの絵画と共に、初期の未出版作品、スケッチ、有名な「レガシー・ヌード」、その他を特集している。
10年毎にまとめられた物語風のエッセイと説明文は、20年間プレイボーイ誌のアートディレクターを務め、1978年にヴァーガスと共同で著した、ベストセラーとなったヴァーガスの伝記の著者でもあるリード・スチュアート・オースティンによるものである。

THE LEGEND THAT IS VARGAS
2007/2/18
形式:ハードカバー
There are a few legitimate greats, legends of the pin-up and glamour art world whose names are synonymous with style and perfection. There's Rolf Armstrong, Zoe Mozert, Gil Elvgren, and, perhaps the greatest of them all, Alberto Vargas. Vargas first came to notoriety in 1919 when he was hired by the Ziegfeld Follies to paint portraits of the various Follies Revue stars. He would work for several years producing pinups for Esquire Magazine but it was his work for Playboy Magazine beginning in 1960 that made him a legend. The Vargas page in Playboy would become a regular feature for the next decade and a half.
This book contains an eclectic assortment of Vargas art beginning with the earliest work in 1914 and running up through 1975, over sixty years worth of work. It is indeed fascinating to compare his works from the twenties to those of the sixties and seventies. Despite the changes in fashion, hairstyles, and even facial expressions, Vargas' work always had an innate sensuality to them.
The names of the Follies women aren't remembered by most people today but women like Olive Thomas and Nita Nadli were the starlets of their era. His work in the thirties included paintings of Hollywood stars as well movie posters. His subjects included a young Shirley Temple and the sultry Marlene Dietrich.
Several examples of Vargas' sketches are shown partnered with the finished paintings so one can see the progression and changes made along the way. There are a number of two-page spreads in the book such as "Cordillera De Los Andes" a wonderful nude spread of a sexy blonde lying face down. It is simple, yet remarkable erotic. "Blonde Venus" is yet another fantastic 1950's nude spread.
The first Vargas painting from Playboy included in the book is from December 1960 and shows a buxom nude redhead in a pink negligee twisting almost impossibly over her left shoulder to look at the reader. The thing that strikes me about Vargas' paintings, particularly the Playboy paintings, is the way the girls seem to look at you, and you alone with those big, watery eyes. It's no wonder he became so popular with the Vargas page.
The book is a beautifully produced, over-sized hardcover with some 100 full-color illustrations. Highly recommended for all fans of pin-up or glamour art, or those that just appreciate the female form.

Alberto Vargas more in text than artwork
2008/12/10
形式:ハードカバー
When I buy a book of an artist work I'm buying it for his artwork not his biography. Sure some background info is a good thing but I would have rather seen more of his work. If I want his biography I'll go buy it but I'm more interested in the pin-up art. The works that are represented are nice but far from definitive of his decades of art. If I had to do it all over again I'd buy the book but for 10 dollars cheaper, because I wanted art not text... and so 3 stars

Just breathtaking...
2007/6/8
形式:ハードカバー
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and reading about Alberto Vargas, his work, his relationships with his publisher(s) and his wife. The man was an amazing talent. The size of these illustrations were incredible, sorry to see a seam going down the middle ... If I could I'd take them out and hang them in poster frames!
I wish there were even more drawings to enjoy.
