This post features another work of Gil Elvgren – an artist who started out by creating illustrations for calendars and advertisements, then turned to creating pinup art. Of course, he was also an accomplished portrait painter. And this skill appears in this pinup art which shows a beautiful woman, at the bottom of a set of stairs, holding a lamp and a gun. A noise has disturbed her and what made the noise? Her cat!

Known as a humorous artist, at times, this pinup illustrates Elvgren’s sense of humor.

A reproduction of this image of this beautiful woman on the stairs is available as an 8.5 x 11 inch photo print. It is for sale at my store on eBay (without the watermark). You can learn more about purchasing a photo print titled “Looking for Trouble” by clicking on the picture. Or click on the link below the art to be taken to this eBay item.

The Cat, the Girl and the Gun Alone in the house,       she and the cat, Puff – her sister’s cat,       a sister a statistic of one of the many ways       people die,       too soon. She and the cat       had mourned together forging       their own bond. Alone, too,       because her spouse was away – serving the country,       perhaps, saving the world. Then the bang?? broke       her light slumber – not the creaking of the old house’s       wooden structure settling       in its own sleep, or the thunder from the storm       outside, this sound was inside –       a disturbing noise that needed investigation. Alone, she carried with her       the inherited revolver, her father’s passing gift –       said to be one of Doc Holliday’s guns – her       great grandfather played poker in Tombstone and Colorado       in the old days       (and often won). Down the stairs she crept       ready for anything – only to find relief       when she would discover the mystery was but a case       of the cat, Puff, knocking off a vase       from top a cabinet. ©2024 Carl Scott Harker, author of Classic Fine Art of Cats

There was a time when to watch shows on your television set you had to have an antenna on your house’s roof. And to get the perfect picture you needed to adjust the antenna – moving it right or left – to pick up the best broadcast signal. In the lovely Gil Elvgren pin-up art below, a beautiful woman is sitting on the edge of a roof adjusting the TV aerial and and showing a bit of leg at the same time. This is a classic example of the sexy “cheesecake” art of the late 1940’s and 1950’s.

This image of a pretty woman up on the rooftop, her leg curled around the pole of a television antenna, is available as an 8.5 x 11 inch photo print. It is for sale at my store on eBay (without the watermark). You can learn more about purchasing a photo print of this “Woman up on the Roof” by clicking on the picture.
