Alberto Vargas (1896-1982)
The glamor illustrator most prolific and famous of all time is Alberto Vargas. The son of Max Vargas, a famous and talented photographer in his own right, Alberto learned to airbrush his father before he was a teenager. Most do not realize that he was actually born in Peru and not come to the U.S. until 1916. He arrived at Ellis Island through Europe, where he had been since 1911. Once there, he studied in Geneva and Zurich, and by the time he made his way here, he was a gifted talent coming into bloom.

Now, the reason why this article was written … to discuss the most shapely, beautifully round, perfectly proportioned, plus size, beauty pear-shaped in the history of Pin Up Girl: Duane Bryers "Hilda"
One night, while wandering "Google Images" for the contents of curves, I was in the Les Toil Big Beautiful Pin Up Gallery. I clicked through and followed his fun and looking curiously titled links to good nutrition, the images of women who had started the night looking.
After I do admire the talents of Les, who returned to his home page and click in a cheerful blue-green and yellow flag with the name "Hilda" written on it. I clicked on it, is not prepared at all for what was about to see.
As soon as the page opened, I stopped and stared in amazement. He was one of those moments when we see something that you are fully taken, and the world around you seems to disappear, and everything goes completely silent, as it narrows its focus, taking on what is before you.
The discovery of Hilda was like discovering a lost treasure. I recognized immediately. I remembered as a perfect likeness of what I had for years in the idealized feminine form, round, soft, pear-shaped, plump and well proportioned to the end.
If a male is the natural instinct is to respond to the rounded, softer, more women generously proportioned, it is understandable why there is so much like her. In his long legs, soft baby face, stubby arms, invite your hips, round and large, is a vision of femininity that form in front of you. Add to all that wide and well-developed breasts, soft belly and glorious giving waist- hip, and discovers she is an ideal example of the whole figure perfectly. The perfect size also pear-shaped,
nubile beauty.
Unlike of the stick thin female icons so popular today, Hilda does not have a central position. She embodies the lofty ideals of old women's fashion "round and smooth." She is feminine to the nth degree.
Duane Bryers was the first illustrator to use plus size models as subjects in their pin up art. Sometimes he did not use a model of everything and painted from memory or fantasy. A feat, according to pin up artist Les Toil, "most impressive!"
"Hilda" is owned by Brown & Bigelow
