David Wright (12 December 1912 – 25 May 1967) was a British illustrator who drew a series of "lovelies" that epitomized female glamour during World War II. he was one of the leading pin-up artists of the 20th Century. Unlike his American contemporaries Alberto Vargas and Gil Elvgren, the British-born Wright brought a sense of realism to his willowy figures. However, it is his series of 169 illustrations for The Sketch magazine (from 1941 to 1951) that became most popular.
