Gillette Elvgren

(1914 St. Paul/Minnesota - 1980 Siesta Key/Florida) "Meant For You (Pretty as a Rose)". Originaltitel Auf einem Stuhl, der fast komplett unter dem bauschigen, leuchtend roten Petticoat verschwindet, sitzt die blonde Schönheit und scheint direkt mit dem Betrachter aufreizend zu kokettieren, während sie ihr Gesicht mit einer weißen Rosenblüte umspielt. Elvgren schuf dieses in Lebendigkeit und Ausstrahlung meisterhafte Werk 1965 als späte Auftragsarbeit für den Verlag Brown & Bigelow und somit unmittelbar auf dem Höhepunkt seines künstlerischen Schaffens. Erste Zeichenkurse belegte das amerikanische Ausnahmetalent am Minneapolis Art Institute und schloss 1934-1936 sein Studium in Chicago an der American Academy mit allseits enorm gelobtem und herausragendem Fleiß ab. Nach seiner Rückkehr in seine Heimat entwickelte Elvgren ab 1940 unter dem Einfluss seines Freundes und Förderers Haddon H. Sunblom (1899 - 1976) seinen charakteristischen Stil. Dieser zeichnet sich durch eine besonders reiche, cremig seidenglatte Oberfläche aus, die unerreicht blieb. Aber auch Elvgrens Fähigkeit, nicht nur den Körper, sondern auch den Geist und die Sinnlichkeit der zeittypischen, äußerst selbstbewussten Schönheit von Nebenan in außerordentlicher Lebendigkeit einzufangen, ist unübertroffen und brachte ihm eine bis heute unangefochtene Sonderstellung als amerikanischer Illustrator und Werbegrafiker der damaligen Zeit ein.
