open by appointment. Housewife orgies, men shooting wild animals on safari, army men tricked by beautiful female double agents, a hero jumping out of an airplane into enemy fire, the hypnotic gaze of a woman bathing in a lake, GI’s dropping bombs on the Nazis, survivors of a plane crash in the Arctic, a medic patching up a mortally wounded soldier, Amazonian jungle sex fantasies, bordello shoot-outs, rescuing a heroine from the ravages of war, sex with space aliens… It’s all there. From the 1950’s through the early 1970’s there were fresh specialty magazines and new novels created just for your predilection. Scores of successful publishers and copious second stringers pumped this stuff out in excess throughout the middle of the 20th Century. The best and oddest of the century’s writers from Mario Puzo to Dashiell Hammett to L. Ron Hubbard wrote the books. The artists then did impossibly beautiful work racing against the clock each day. This exhibit celebrates the beauty of 1960’s pulp art. The men and women who cranked it out everyday for decades were waging a quiet art revolution that occurred in bedrooms and bathrooms throughout the country. In the age of instant pornography their work seems quaint and even somehow romantic. |
