Pinups by Al Buell

Al Buell (1910-1996) was born in Hiawatha, Kansas. He attended classes at the Art Institute of Chicago. Buell had his own studio by 1940 and produced pinups for the calendar companies Gerlach-Barklow and Brown & Bigelow. After World War II, he contributed pinups to Esquire magazine's "Gallery of Glamour." Here's a small sample of his artwork.
