Model poses and the finished paintings of Gil Elvgren
Its not just a model, it’s his wife. She posed for every single one of his paintings.
What my brain did immediately…
“Oh, so they’ve ALWAYS photoshopped pin-ups, it’s always been fakery!”
Comparing the size and shape of the lovely lady on the left with the paintings on the right.
And then I read about it being his wife, and I had another twist on it. Maybe the paintings are how he sees her, because he loves the heck out of this woman and his perception is of her beauty.
It is NOT his wife. Some misinformed person added that to my post and it’s completely untrue.
