There were several very talented pinup artists of that era, but I have always considered Vargas the best of the lot. Others did make significant contributions though and it is interesting to see the results of their efforts as well though.

I think Vargas is generally considered the best and IMO probably the most tasteful. Among some of the others was Art Frahm. He did stuff a little on the quirky side usually with a womans skirt blown up somewhere mid thigh, racy but not explicit, and her hands often occupied - most often carrying groceries but the circumstances were usually embarrassing for the woman often with her underwear fallen to the ground. And for some reason the grocery sack often contained a celery. In fact it's such a common theme in his work google will return him with a search of pinup artist with celery.

People who confuse etymology and entomology bug me in ways I can’t put into words.

I think artists in general are a bit quirky.  Not downing them, think they have to be quirky to be creative.
