Vaughan Alden Bass was an American painter of pin-up art.
Bass was a Chicago artist who started his career working for the Louis F. Dow Company in St. Paul during the mid-1930s.
Bass' style was often compared with that of Elvgren, Al Buell, and Joyce Ballantyne.
In the late 1950s, Bass did a series of wrestling scenes that demonstrated his comfort with any subject matter.
His portrait of President Dwight D. Eisenhower is in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.
