Description

Another gorgeous David Wright �lovely�, but this one very different given its intensely subtle eroticism. In contrast to his more overt presentations of beauty and sensuality, here Wright depicts a young woman taking in her own deeply plunging neckline that provides only the faintest hints of her chest via a small mirror she holds in her delicate, lithe hand. A very unique approach that creates a quasi-voyeuristic capturinig of a personal moment.

This piece, entitled �O.K. By Me.�, was a pin-up done in original goauche and included in the June 2, 1943, edition of Sketch Magazine, the British illustrated weekly journal (primarily a society magazine) that ran for almost 3,000 issues from 1893 to 1959.

This piece was also featured on page 55 of Terry Parker�s �Sirens: The Pin-Up Art of David Wright�, the definitive examination of David Wright�s commercial illustration and pin-up work.

Lush and silky brushwork gives all the textures a luxurious elegance making everything feel soft and fragile in this piece. A perfect well mannered proper young lady who's only pursuit is one of vanity.
