Joaquin Alberto Vargas y Chávez (1896-1982) was a famous 20th-century Peruvian-American painter of pin-up girls. He had studied art in Europe as a teenager, and at age twenty he moved to New York, where he would make quite a name for himself. His sensual paintings of actresses and models were highly sought after, and popular magazines like Esquire and Playboy used his paintings to great success. | TripImprover
