Bernard Charoy from France stands as an outstanding talent in capturing the graceful beauty of femininity. Charoy moved to Montmartre in Paris in 1955 to learn a variety of creative skills, such as oil painting, poster design, and illustration in workshops. In the 1960s, Charoy developed the Pin-ups series, which invoked strong personal characteristics with a strongly French style. He instantly became famous with his popularity spreading as far as Europe, America, and Asia. During this time period, Charoy portrayed charming female characters wearing gauze corset and American flags with a cigar in their mouth and high heels on their feet. Their affectionate gaze is matched with teasing titles in French. From the looks of the models, the audience may even vaguely identify the facial outlines of the then world-famous female celebrities Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin.
