Bought a beautiful Alberto Vargas Book which originally sold for $45, but they made a Special Print Run for Barnes and Nobles for an INSANE price of only $14.95!
Man, I’ve loved Vargas artwork since falling in love with the image adorning the cover that iconic CARS album CANDY-O(as did many of us guys back then) and have always been aware of his awesome artistic skills…
I remember inheriting a whole slew of old Playboys when I was around 13 or 14 years old, and being blown away when I discovered Vargas’s contribution for each issue was to create a saucy and (utterly nude) pinup for each Month! Heck, I was SO obsessed with Vargas’ artwork that I actually TORE OUT all the Vargas pin-up pages to put in a separate portfolio collection...WTH!!! Gads, all those old collectible Playboys ruined…!
Sad to say, in the end, not only did I tear up all those collectible Playboy Magazines, over the years those pages have been lost to time, so I don't even have those pin ups to show for my thoughtless deeds! D’oh! So it was nice to have a slick coffee table book of Vargas works...
144 pages of beautiful artwork that covered Vargas work from the early days 1920's to the Playboy Years 60-70's . the 1940-50's esquire stuff was great, but naturally I have a penchant for his 60's stuff.. such GORGEOUS GALS!!!
Now online looking to see if I can find some of his other works that I might have torn out of a mag before...
