Gillette Elvgren (1914 – 1980) was an American painter of pin-up girls, advertising and illustration. Best known for his pin-up paintings for Brown & Bigelow, Elvgren studied at the American Academy of Art. He was strongly influenced by the early "pretty girl" illustrators, such as Charles Dana Gibson, Andrew Loomis, and Howard Chandler Christy. Other influences included the Brandywine School founded by Howard Pyle.
Brown & Bigelow...By the late 1940s, the company was one of the largest printers of calendars in the world, employing some of the best pin-up artists in the United States and putting calendars into an estimated fifty million homes.
