Second batch of artists that have influenced my art during the years. The first one on the left is Romanian American caricaturist Jacques Kapralik, best remembered for his work with MGM in the 1940s. His style is so modern and sharp it’s delicious. If you don’t know his work check it out. In the middle is genius Alberto Vargas, a noted Peruvian painter of pin-up girls whose luscious work is an epitome of glamour girls. And finally, and more contemporary of the three is american artist Patrick Nagel (thank you @richard_a_lloreda for reminding me) whose stylish work influenced 80’s fashion and looks. Do you see them in my work? #style #art #inspirations #alejandromogolloart https://www.instagram.com/p/BrDXTDLll3l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10mluuutmjqif

Mary Mallory / Hollywood Heights: Jacques Kapralik, Reading Between the Lines

While most people don’t recognize the name Jacques Kapralik, they recognize his wonderful art. One of the premiere key art illustrators at Hollywood’s motion picture studios in the 1940s and 1950s, Kapralik could do more with line and paper than an architect with a ruler and a pen.

While little is know of the celebrated artist prior to his arrival in the United States, Kapralik was born October…
