{"product_id":"george-petty-pin-up-4","title":"The Consumer's Mind by George Petty","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis original George Petty illustration from Esquire magazine captures the artist at the height of his powers in the late 1930s. The image presents his signature 'Petty Girl' in a characteristically provocative yet playful pose, speaking on a telephone while artfully arranged to preserve modesty. The warm, airbrushed flesh tones and impossibly elongated limbs exemplify the idealized feminine form that made Petty a household name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe witty caption, 'I'm not posing for that account any longer. It seems I took the consumer's mind entirely off the product,' offers a self-aware commentary on the power of the Petty Girl image and the tensions of commercial illustration. This meta-humor was typical of Esquire's sophisticated editorial voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA quintessential example of American pin-up art from its golden era, this piece represents both exceptional commercial illustration and an important cultural artifact of pre-war America. An essential acquisition for collectors of American illustration or mid-century popular culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.0\" x 9.5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e George Petty\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Good, Age-appropriate wear.
