Billy DeVorss
(1908- )
William Albartus DeVorss, (1908- ), more commonly known
as Billy DeVorss, was born in St. Joseph, Missouri in 1908. He graduated
from the Kansas City Art Institute in 1934 and soon after moved to New York
to pursue his career in both pin-up art and advertising.
While his work does not have the almost photographic quality of Vargas, it is
his use of colour that make Billy DeVorss's work stand out. He worked almost
exclusively in pastels, due to both the speed at which he could work and the
effect it produced.
