Bryllupsdag
Wedding Day af den amerikanske kunstner Walt Otto (1895 – 1963); Maler, Illustrator, Annoncering og Pinup Kunstner fra 1935 – 1945.
Wedding Day er et smukt portræt af en siddende ung blondine poserer i sin hvide silkebrudekjole, med armslange handsker iført en dobbelt pink rose corsage på hendes venstre håndled; og også iført store perleøreringe og en perlekæde.
Dette er en retoucheret digital kunst, som gamle mestre gengiver et billede af det offentlige domæne.
Walt Otto var en amerikansk pin-up maler, som strakte sig over 1920'erne, 1930s og 1940'erne; med speciale i smukke glamourøse unge damer i landlige temaer.
Ottos arbejde blev vist i kalendere, på bladforsider, såsom The Saturday Evening Post og Women's Weekly samt annoncer på billboards for store amerikanske mærker såsom Alka Seltzer, Anheuser-Bush, Kellloggs, Shell olie, Schilitz Beer og mange andre.
Otto’s interest in art began when he was very young and his career got it start when he took an art correspondence course, which led to a brief stretch as a studio photographer, when he opened his own shop.
I 1916 Otto joined the Army Air Corps during World War I, and after the war, moved to Chicago; obtaining employment with the Edwards and Deutsch Lithography Company, and taking during the evenings at the Chicago Academy of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago.
When World War II broke out he enlisted in the United States Air Force and used his photography skills as an aerial photographer.
