" Bill Ward est le dessinateur de pin-up le plus prolifique d'Amérique. Depuis la sensuelle Torchy, née pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, jusqu'à la Scorchy des années 1990, ses pin-up définissent l'idéal féminin. Ces créatures extraordinaires enveloppées de fourrures, en équilibre sur de gigantesques talons aiguilles, portant des boucles d'oreilles en diamant, sont moulées dans des robes serrées dont le décolleté a titillé l'imagination des hommes durant plus de quarante ans. Pour la toute première fois, TASCHEN ouvre la malle aux trésors de Bill Ward et présente la plus grande compilation d'œuvres jamais réunies dans un même livre. " Eric Kroll

REVUE It's unfortunate that Bill Ward's most well known pin-up work appeared in down-market, scruffy, digest-sized magazines because it meant that he was not considered with the big names like Varga, Petty or Elvgren and many others who created 'painted ladies'. This huge book (check out the dimensions, above especially the thickness: two inches) will most likely become the standard reference to his work though.
The book divides his career into three sections; the early years show work for various comic book publishers and his Torchy title where you can clearly see the origins of his later glamour style. The second section has 180 of his Conte crayon cartoons for Abe Goodman's various Humorama digest-size titles and this is the art that Ward is famous for.
Between 1947 and 1967 he claims to have drawn more than seven thousand of these sexy females and despite the large number they are each worth serious money to collectors. These drawings are one, two or four to a page and printed in sepia with white highlights. Another book of his work 'The Glamour Girls of Bill Ward' (ISBN 1560975318) has about 116 Conte drawings all one to a page and nicely doesn't seem to have any pictures duplicated with this Kroll book. If you can take your eyes of the dames you'll notice how Ward used embossed wallpaper samples to create curtains, cushions and sometimes filmy negligees by putting the sample under his drawing paper and rubbing the Conte crayon across the relevant area.
The third section of the book covers work after Humorama and here I think his style lacks the creativity of the Conte work. There are plenty of examples of paperback covers, color cartoons, comics, covers to porno magazines and a real surprise, the 1954 Lili St. Cyr lingerie catalog where Ward created precise model drawings with Lili's face on each.
At the front of the book Eric Kroll writes a fascinating fifty-page introduction with many quotes from the artist and illustrated with plenty of artwork and photos, in this beautifully designed and printed book devoted to the glamour work of Bill Ward.
