Accidental Tourist Gil Elvgren Oil on Canvas Recreation by Daniel Vancas. Gil Elvgren (1914-1980) remains one of the most popular American pin-up artists in history with his original pieces now commanding upwards to $250,000. Daniel Vancas, a well established California artist, illustrator and gallery owner, obtained the licenses to recreate a certain few of Elvgren pieces mostly those destroyed, lost or unavailable. Offered here is an original oil on canvas recreation, painted in 1997 entitled "Accidental Tourist". Here Elvgren (Vancas) captures a leggy, blue-eyed red head, sitting on her three-piece matched luggage, and absolutely the ideal Elvgren pin-up model. Did she leave early for the station or waiting for someone? Is she a bit wistful or dust in her eye? Actual canvas measures 30 x 24" and framed to 37 x 31". This is a gallery quality piece and quite a knockout. Estimate Value $2,000 - 4,000
