Looking at pin-up art for the past century shows a graphic history of sexuality. Around the turn of the century, artists produced demure "ladies of the court style" drawings. The twenties (after WWI) show a marked influence of European-style sexuality. The thirties and forties added the "scantily-clad, sexy nymphs". The fifties and sixties introduced the "dominant female" to the art world. The seventies and eighties added fetish attire, while the nineties added various aspects of BDSM.
