RED HERRING - IN PRAISE OF ALBERTO VARGAS
 
 
 
   
 

1896 – 1982. Born in Peru, Vargas’ father was a professional photographer. Alberto's speciality was pin-ups and nudes, with more than a passing fancy for females of the redheaded persuasion. A distinguished painter, his favoured medium was watercolour and airbrush, of which he was justly described as a pioneer. His career suffered from expoitation by magazine editors, until long-term fan Hugh Hefner (of Playboy) resurrected his career.

There are many Vargas resources on the web. Meanwhile, here’s a sample of Vargas’ magnificent work.
