Aslan (pin up)
Aslan (born Alain Gourdon, in Bordeaux, France on May 23, 1930) is a French painter, sculptor and pin-up artist. He is most famous in France for his pin-ups. He contributed to Lui magazine from the creation of the magazine in 1964 to the early eighties, providing a monthly pin-up.
Aslan is the sculptor of the Fifth Republic (post-WWII) Marianne ("Statue of the Republic", comparable to Statue of Liberty in the USA)
The official busts of Marianne, after having had anonymous features, being represented by women of the people, began taking on the features of famous women starting in 1969, with the actress Brigitte Bardot. She was followed by Mireille Mathieu (1978), Catherine Deneuve (1985), Inès de la Fressange (1989), Laetitia Casta (2000) and Évelyne Thomas (2003) along with Marianne Russell (2010)
