Girl in blue

Edward D'Ancona was one of the best pin-up artists of the last century, based in Chicago. His artistic style attracted advertisers, in particular the Coca-Cola Company: Edward took part in several advertisements for certain types of soft drinks. The girls in the artist's paintings are simple American beauties, dressed in evening dresses that emphasize the beauty and elegance of the female figure. In the 1960s, the artist moved away from the pickup style and other glamorous illustrations. Since that time, his drawings have been devoted to the topic of road safety (a kind policeman takes the kids across the road, etc.).
