Jean-Gabriel Domergue

If you like pinup art you might have heard of the man who himself claimed to be "the inventor of the pin-up". This man's name was Jean-Gabriel Domergue (March 4, 1889 - November 16, 1962). Domergue was a French painter specializing in portraits of Parisian women, and although most people think about the 1940s and 50s when it comes to pinups, I can really see how he could name himself as the inventor of this genre. The women in his paintings are often portrayed more or less nude, a bit provocative, but never pornographic, and always beautiful. I really like his art, so I hope you will too - cause here comes a Domergue pic spam:
