The Petty Project - By Britt Dietz
What is the Petty Project? The project started as an idea in 2008 by photographer Britt Dietz to honor the well known Pinup artist of the 1940s and 50s named George Petty. Inventor of the famed ‘Petty Girl’ which was made popular in the 1940 issues & calendars of Esquire magazine and on WW2 military aircraft noses,Petty’s style embodied the classic essence of the pinup and catapulted the art-form into a national sensation and symbol. To honor Petty’s work, the idea came about to recreate the classic Petty Girls through studio photography & computer manipulation to bring new awareness to this forgotten style...
