More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The bestselling author of The Piano Tuner takes readers to an exhibition of the great pin-up artist Gil Spam. He's now a very old man in a wheelchair who can't speak, taken care of by his lovely niece. Chapter by chapter readers discover the real dirty story behind each wonderful piece being exhibited. How could such charmingly risque paintings have been inspired by such utter lechery and sexual abandon? With Pin-Up Artist, Noe delivers another raunchy, funny and beautifully painted story.

My favourite of Noe's (so far).
A wheelchair and stroke-muted Gil Spam is attending a retrospective of his 50's pin-up art. His granddaughter and a young male fan discourse pretentiously about each picture, humourously sending-up the drivel-spouters of the art appreciation world, while silent Spam is prompted to recall the inspiration behind each picture. Spam was a horrible misogynistic fiend, and the book has it both ways by disapproving of the terrible mores of the 50's, yet enjoying his macho antics. A guilty pleasure, perhaps, but a great pleasure for a' that. The wistfulness of an old man's loss of virility is strangely touching, even if it probably is for the best that his caducity renders him no longer potent. The contrast in atmosphere between the contemporary parts and the bits set in the 50's is very well evoked.
The art is the usual sketch-like excellence.

Noe is a brilliant illustrator with a knack for eroticism though I liked the Piano Tuner and Convent from Hell much better.
Very good

This volume is in full color throughout, with great artwork on every page. There are plenty of sex scenes-- the book doesn't seem to go more than two or three pages without some people stripping down and getting it on-- but most of the scenes are only a page or two in length.
There is more lesbian sex in this volume than in the Piano Tuner or Aldana books, but still not a lot of it. If you liked Piano Tuner, well this is more of the same.
