"Bill Ward was America's most prolific pin-up artist. From his sultry World War II 'Torchy' of the 1990s, his drawings defined the ideal woman. Extraordinary women encased in furs, teetering in extreme heels, decorated with dangling diamond earrings, and wrapped in skintight dresses with deep cleavages fortified the male imagination for over forty years. Now, for the first time, the doors to the treasure chest of Bill Ward's art have been thrown open as only TASCHEN can do. Welcome to the largest compilation of Ward work ever assembled between the sheets. I mean covers." (Eric Kroll).
