  4. Vargas was one of the most brilient artists of the pin up world ever.

  5. A Vargas original was 'lifted' from a Sarasota bar that he frequented. If you know of this painting and want to see it contact jim@silverlinepictures.ca.

  6. Vargas was truly one of the greats when it came to drawing women and capturing their femininity. On a sidenote, did you guys know that Bob Guccione of Penthouse fame was a big fan and collector of art, counting Vargas as one of his inspirations? He was even something of an artist with oils and sketches himself. I saw a bunch of his stuff at the GuccioneCollection.com.

    It's interesting to see who Vargas inspired!

  7. Vargas was such an inspiration to me, I wish I could have met him and hang around with him.

  8. I recently purchased a vintage copy of the drawing shown in the background of your picture of Vargas. Thank you so much for displaying so many of his ladies and giving us all a chance to enjoy them. He really did create magic and there have been too few like him since he died!
