Pollen’s Women is a lush visual archive collecting some of artist Samson Pollen’s most memorable pieces, selected from the hundreds of jaw-dropping illustrations Pollen provided for men’s adventure magazines (MAMs) from the 1950s through the 1970s. Sexy women were a regular component of story illustrations published in the more than 160 MAM titles that flourished from the early 1950s through the mid-1970s, and nobody painted beautiful and dangerous femmes like Pollen.

Until now, almost none of these illustrations have seen print since their original publication in those latter-day MAM pulps. POLLEN’S WOMEN collects the artist’s sexiest and most lethal female portraits in a deluxe hardcover edition, with an autobiographical introduction by the artist.

The art work is presented in a dual format; first as a full page spread with only the original art work, and then again in a smaller print with the magazine type and text included for context.

There’s certainly much to admire about the sexy and beautiful women as illustrated by the artist, but the value of his art work goes behind just titillation using the female subjects; each piece boasts skillful framing and composition to tell a much bigger story using just a single image. Recommended.
