Robert D. Blue - "Hawaiian Nude", c. 1992 Fine art Nude Pinup Illustration (NSFW)

Original unframed pencil of "Hawaiian nude" (32" x 44")

The art was originally purchased by long time collector in Jan 1993 from an art gallery representing Robert Blue in Westlake Village, CA at the time. It has never been framed or seen the light of day and was never been offered publicly since. Nudes during this time for Blue are fairly rare.

I am always buying Robert Blue. You can always make an offer on one of mine but I love to collect him!

If you are a TRUE Bettie Page fan you know who Blue is. He was the first of three artist (Dave Stevens and Olivia followed) to really focus on creating Bettie Page art here in Los Angeles. I am a HUGE fan. He is definitely one of my favorite artists ever. He mastered oils, acrylics, drawings and even fetish comics! If you have any Blue for sale please contact me. I purchased this several years ago from a long time collectors family. I will share more Blue soon. This one is not for sale. But I have others...

Blue sadly succumbed to brain cancer in January of 1998.
