Rolf Armstrong’s luminous portraits of famous actresses and idealized girls-next-door made him one of the highest paid commercial artists in America. Widely considered the “Father of Pin-Up Artists,” his first calendar pin-up, created in 1919, defined the vision of feminine beauty for the next forty years. Today, the very same characteristics that defined Armstrong’s art in the first place—grace, vibrancy, and an indescribable lifelike quality—are attracting a growing number of modern art devotees everywhere.
