Werbetext: | Cowgirls as subject for the great pin-up artists arrives late in the game - in the 1940s - long after Indian maidens had gone largely out of fashion as calendar girls. Native American beauties were a part of the exotic genre of glamour art in which history and culture provided excuses for artists to depict pulchritude. The cowgirls, on the other hand, arrived courtesy of Hollywood - the female equivalent (and co-stars) of singing cowboys Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. Still, it's a bit surprising that the pin-up artists waited so long to tap into this subject matter. Cowgirls were a popular image in America starting with real-life western heroine Calamity Jane and "bandit queen" Belle Starr |
