In Day Dreaming, Alberto Vargas captures a platinum blonde model running her fingers through her hair. 19x16 This image was originally published as part of the Esquire Calendar for October 1943, during the height of Vargas' celebrated World War II-era work. The Lithograph was printed in the early 1990s. Today, the original painting resides in the permanent collection of the Julia Spencer Museum of Art at the University of Kansas. This print bears the distinctive "Varga" signature, not "Vargas," marking a specific and important chapter in Alberto Vargas’ career. During his collaboration with Esquire magazine, contractual obligations required him to sign his work “Varga,” a name that would come to symbolize the quintessential wartime pin-up. Our archive represents the largest known collection of genuine Alberto Vargas lithographs, all verified, preserved, and presented with an unwavering commitment to authenticity.
