Gil Elvgren (1914-1980) was an American painter and illustrator known for making pin-up girls and commercial art in advertising. He graduated from the American Academy of Art and began painting pin-up calendars in 1937 for Louis F. Dow, one of the leading publishing companies in the United States at the time. Around 1944, Elvgren was hired by Brown & Bigelow, which still produces calendars and advertisements to this day. He was associated with Brown & Bigelow from 1945-1972 and was active until that decade in the 1970s. Elvgren was a successful artist whose clients also included Coca-Cola, General Electric, and Sealy Mattress Company.
