There was no more exciting time than the 50s when America was moving into a more free and open-minded age. The 50s Pinup Girls encompass this in some of the most amazing photography and art of the times. I believe a key personality behind this evolution of style was Gil Elvgren, who during his life-time produced over five hundred paintings of Pin-up Dolls, which were turned into calendars, swap cards and of course - posters, Thus, leading to the name "Pin-up" and the ideal Pin-up Doll.
Art, as a term, came from several etymologies. It came from the Italian word "artis" which refers to mastery of form, craftsmanship, inventiveness, and the association existing between form and ideas, and materials and techniques.

As implied by the given definitions, Art is never natural. It is neither made by nature or accidental. In fact, what distinguishes it from nature is the very fact that it is man-made.

Rita Hayworth was one of the most beautiful and chic of the women of the 50s pinup girls. She was the type that you could not take your eyes off of when she would see her displayed in a work of pin up art. The 1960s was the decline of pinup art and produced much trash that has corrupted the genre, but none so much as to bring a bad light to the gorgeous Rita Hayworth.
Lastly, they are a form of human expression. Fashion, cosmetics, posters, logos, stories, dances, movies, and similar others are all mediums of expression. They can be used to understand others and make others understand. And since expression is part of human nature, man is able to contribute to his well-being and that of others through art.
