About this title

Synopsis

PThe storied and turbulent career of glamour artist Alberto Vargas took him from Florenz Ziegfeld's Follies in the 1920s to Hollywood in the '30s to IEsquire/I magazine and the emergence of the "Varga Girl" in the '40s and, ultimately, to a lasting home at IPlayboy/I in the '60s and '70s.pThis is the first book on the works of Vargas in more than a decade, drawn from the collection of his nephew, Max Vargas. It is also the first to include a generous selection of his vivid original drawings and his finest work for IPlayboy/I magazine. Along with these highly sough-after pictures, the book features early unpublished works from the 1920s, unpublished sketches and watercolors rendered for IEsquire/I, the celebrated Legacy Nudes, and more.pThe decade-by-decade narrative essay and captions are by BReid Stewart Austin/B, who worked with Vargas as his IPlayboy/Ieditor for nearly twenty years and who wrote the bestselling Vargas biography in 1978 with the artist.p
