THE FIRST EVER COLLECTION OF ONE OF THE LEADING PIN-UP ARTISTS OF THE 20TH CENTURY!
David Wright's illustrations epitomise female glamour in the 1940s and 50s; a beautiful and elegant collection of his original and previously unpublished paintings.
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 Altantic, especially during WW2. Now, finally, access has been granted to his archive, and this is the first ever collection of his work.
