Alberto Vargas passsed away in December 1982.Two women search for meaning in lost loves and missed chances. His work also appeared in "Harper's Bazaar", "Theatre Magazine", and "Tattler". One of the true giants of American illustration, Alberto Vargas has created an art style so sensuous, so exquisite, that for the past six decades his magnificent paintings of women have come to embody the fantasies of three generations of women and men around the world. Alberto Vargas' regular "Playboy" slot in the 1960s and '70s elevated Vargas to a pinnacle eclipsing Petty. Vargas was given a second shot at fame and fortune by longtime fan Hugh Hefner. But "Esquire" made him famous, though he was paid poorly and, like Petty, eventually quit.

Vargas (who signed his Esquire work "Varga") had already achieved some notoriety for his Ziegfeld Follies and movie poster art. His wide-eyed wonder- women rivaled Betty Grable as the ultimate pin-up girl of World War II. Vargas initially aped Petty's sleek women with their telephone posing and large-hat lounging soon, however, Vargas' own distinctive, delicate watercolor style emerged. Alberto Vargas' name has become synonymous with pin-up girls, but in the early 1940s, he was just a guy hired by "Esquire" magazine to imitate departed star George Petty, who bolted over pay. Arriving in New York in 1916, he was determined to stay in America and pursue what became an illustrious career. Alberto Vargas was born in Arequipa, Peru, in 1896, the son of a successful photographer, and was educated in Switzerland. Gift cards now available.Īrt Brokerage: Alberto Vargas Peruvian Artist: b.
