Art Frahm (1907–1981) was an American commercial artist known for his pin-up art and advertising illustrations. Born in Chicago, Illinois, Frahm gained prominence in the mid-20th century for his work in a variety of media, including calendars, advertisements, and magazine covers. He is perhaps best known for his "ladies in distress" series, which often featured women in awkward or embarrassing situations, such as their skirts being lifted by the wind or their underwear falling down unexpectedly.
Frahm's work is characterized by its blend of humor, sexuality, and everyday scenarios, rendered with a keen eye for detail and a vibrant color palette. While some critics have pointed out the dated and sometimes problematic nature of his themes, Frahm remains an important figure in the history of American commercial art and pin-up illustration.
