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.

The future that lies ahead



This is another 1960 ad for Pontiac similar to the previous one. It's a beautiful, romantic moonlit night. Again, the theme of a couple together. This time the man is driving a big, elegant car. The woman next to him could be his wife, a girlfriend or a lover. She's relaxed, probably enjoying the summer breeze as it dances around her face, the view of the moon and just being happy next to the man of her dreams. And she's probably wondering if her man can steer their lives together as well as he drives. Is he ready to be at the helm? As for him, he's happy to be driving such a powerful piece of machinery--a Pontiac!. A symbol of his success in the world. He owns a great tool of the latest technology that allows him to be an integral part of the system to which he contributes. The wheel is under his confident control as his beautiful woman looks on. He wants to give her a sense of complete security by his side. She can be assured that he will lead them to happiness and fulfillment. All she has to do is relax, sit back and let him do the driving. How far will this relationship go? Will it be a smooth ride? Is there a bumpy road ahead? For now they enjoy the beautiful night together and live the moment.
