Art of Jack Henslee

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas -- unless it's the eye-popping, smile-producing artwork of that town's most celebrated artistic influence -- Jack Henslee! Texas-born, Henslee started out creating portraits of Native American and wildlife scenes. It's when he got to Las Vegas that he started to illustrate that OTHER wildlife of nightclubs and showgirls! Then, not surprisingly, his reputation was really made! An artist of multiple disciplines, this book focuses on his ability to create inspired illustrations of the female form. In his portraits, the pin-up standard is transcended, and there's a wonderful reality to his art. The girls are not so much idealised as lovingly appreciated, in all their winsome ways! If you're a fan of the pin-up, or just a devotee of outstanding artworks, this will be a fine addition to your library.
