Pin-up is a special kind of art based on feminine beauty and eroticism. But there was no erotica, like sex, in the Soviet Union, especially after the Second World War. But in vain! This is the opinion of the Russian-American photographer and artist Irina Davis. To fill this gap, she created a series of American pin-up photos with a Russian flavor.
Irina Davis believes that post-war Russia, faced with a harsh life in the midst of ruined cities, was sorely lacking that lightness of being, "charming happiness" that America was experiencing at that time. At the same time, the pin-up genre was born.
In a series of her works, Irina Davis tried to show what a pin-up would be like if he was born after the war not in the United States of America, but in the Soviet Union.
As models for these pin-up photos, Irina chose young Russian girls who had recently immigrated to the States. The girls are captured in exciting erotic poses typical of this American style. But each of the photos in the series has some kind of "typically Russian" element, for example, a tub with birch brooms, a lollipop cock on a stick, bast shoes, a rocker with buckets, bread and salt.
In general, everything turned out insanely beautiful and erotic! Yes, it's a pity that there was no sex in the Soviet Union!
