Oooh, Is There A Man In The House?

Art Frahm pushes the boundaries of cheesecake pin-up in this scandalous and daring oil on canvas. Titled "Oooh, Is There a Man in the House?" this late 1940s Goes Litho calendar commissioned artwork features a brunette in shockingly sheer negligee peeking around the corner in a brazen mix of apprehension and curiosity.

Frahm is best remembered for his "embarrassment series" in which gravity defying beauties found themselves caught with their pants down, so to speak, while boarding buses, dropping off the mail, and even bowling. His name has become synonymous with lighthearted cheesecake, and while the title and situation of this pin-up certainly show why Frahm is considered a master of the genre, this winsome brunette also exhudes a level of erotic sophistication not always seen in the post-World War II pin up world.
