The Beauty of Pinup and Commercial Art

This is a blog about men and women as seen throughout the history of advertising and pinup art. Art has always reflected the distinct diversity and beauty of both sexes respectively. Just as there is a moon, there is a sun, a night and day, cold and hot...male and female. It is the very sustenance of Nature.

Breeze in the night air



This is a 1960 car ad for Pontiac. No doubt the car influences American life. Here in this ad it silently but powerfully states its presence along with the couple so much in love. The couple have decided they need some time alone away from the civilized world represented by the lit house in the background. The car serves as a tool to take them back to Mother Nature, close to the palm trees, the grass, the vegetation, and thus closer to their own simmering passions that grows deeper as the night progresses. The man has his hand around the woman's waist. Her body language is calm, relaxed, and accepts his intimacy. She listens to his words while contemplating the beauty of the rose in her hands. The empty road seems to suggests that together this couple has a life ahead of them. Already they are on the right track by having selected a Pontiac as the vehicle that not only takes them to places, but more importantly, takes them into the depths of their hearts.
