On Women and Curves

I suppose it's no secret that, as a pin-up artist, I love women's curves. It's probably a prerequisite for the job.  The curves of a woman's body are one of God's greatest creations, if not the greatest.


The female form has been celebrated in art since man first began painting on cave walls.  Women are the child bearers, the nurturers, the gender that really keeps everything together.  A woman's physiology is beautiful, in part, because of the way it was designed.  Men are attracted to a woman's soft, flowing, sensual curves (which is scientifically proven, by the way).  


The circle is the perfect shape in nature.  A woman's shape is based in large part on a circle, unlike males, which are angular.  They are the ultimate subject of any artist or photographer, in my view, because of their unique beauty.  Renaissance artists such as Michelangelo & Botticelli, pinup artists like Elvgren & Vargas  were on to something in their work.  Nowadays, one can look at the art of TC Cor, Dave Nestler & Olivia, or the photos of Carrie Leigh, and see how beautiful they depict the female form ---erotic, sensual, powerful....


The ultimate subject.
