“Pinups” finds Lynne returning to classic form as one of our generation’s most gifted pinup artists with her playfully sensuous and alluringly painted females. Six new vibrantly colorful pieces depict Lynne’s trademark hipster vixens—each named with a zodiac symbol— lounging amidst an abstractly mod world, and make an irresistible addition to any mid-century modern setting.
