Playboy - Playboy Posters La Collection Complète - 2007-2008

In 1953, with the central Playboy poster, Hugh M. Hefner created an icon: the Playmate of the Month, which that year happened to be Marilyn Monroe. Today, for the first time, this volume presents all the posters since the magazine’s creation, and offers an unprecedented panorama of the evolution of the female figure, from the voluptuous blondes of the 1950s to the toned and well-groomed women of today, including the sun-tanned beach girls of the 1970s. Some Playmates have become stars such as Jayne Mansfield, Jenny McCarthy, or Pamela Anderson.
Art critics and writers analyze each of the six decades covered by this work and discuss the morals and the cultural climate of each of the eras concerned.
