An immensely talented artist who enjoyed a prolific, forty-year career, Gil Elvgren was a master of the female form, combining technical proficiency as a painter with an innate ability to capture a sensuous yet naive beauty in his subjects. Known as ‘The Norman Rockwell of Cheesecake’, Elvgren’s name ranks alongside Alberto Vargas and George Petty as one of the greatest maestros of the pin-up to have ever lived. The existence of Elvgren’s personal nude slide collection has only been known about by one or two collectors until now and this is the first time they have ever been seen or published. The discovery of Elvgren’s collection of over 350 nude photographic slides is a fascinating find that forms a more complete picture of his artistic process.

REBEL GIRL REVIEW:
I love this book… from the insightful introduction to the truly wonderful array of Elvgren images inside. The creative direction cleverly gives you the impression you are looking through someone else's personal picture book. GIL ELVGREN'S PRIVATE STOCK is a tasteful presentation and tribute to one of pin-up's greatest artists. The images shed light on Elvgren's inspiration, process and understanding of female form in its most natural state… What a lovely little book!
