Pearl Alice Frush (March 20, 1907 – December 1986) was an American pin-up and glamour illustration artist during the golden era of the calendar art market.
They were a rare "Girl's Club" within the predominantly male pin-up masters of mid-century illustration: Alberto Vargas, George Petty, and Gil Elvgren.
[3] According to the co-author of The Great American Pin-Up, Louis K. Meisel, "Frush's technical brilliance was such that, upon close examination, her works even begin to take on a photographic clarity.
Her employers and publishers included Vogue-Wright Studios,[10] Sundblom, Johnson & White, and Gerlach Barklow Co. in the nearby town of Joliet.
Her "Aqua Tour" series, depicting women in aquatic settings, created such a splash that it broke the company's sales records.
