Bedtime by American Painter Art Frahm (1907 – 1981); Pin-up Girl and Advertising Artist from the 1940s to the 1960s

This is a beautiful and elegant nude glamour pinup girl portrait that has a classical look to it.

She is wearing a silk white folded kerchief around her hair a gold bracelet on her right wrist and a gold necklace with gemstones on the front.

The background of the image is cherry red and black with strong broad brush strokes with the young lady is sitting on a deep violet sheet that is laying on the bed.

She has her arms folded up to her head with her right hand touching her right jaw and her left hand is behind her head; with her left leg folded underneath her thigh.

This is a remastered digital art old masters reproduction of a public domain image that is available as a canvas print online.

Frahm is best known for his “Ladies in Distress” pin-up girls paintings in which beautiful young women casually going about their daily business suddenly and mysteriously have their panties fall to the ground in a variety of public situations, causing maximum embarrassment and often causing them to spill their bag of groceries.

In one of Frahm’s noted idiosyncratic touches, celery is often depicted. The falling-panties paintings were also imitated by other pin-up artists, such as Jay Scott Pike and Al Brulé.

In addition to pin-ups, Frahm created a series of humorous hobo themed calendar illustrations. Another set of paintings celebrated traffic safety, complete with smiling, chubby crossing guards and schoolchildren (one such painting appears as a calendar print in the background of a bar scene in the movie Hud). His advertising art included works for Coca-Cola and Coppertone.
