Pulp Art Gallery: Frank Soltesz

Not really a pulp artist is the strictest sense, but in a similar style. The only things "pulpish" I can find by him are some 1960s "men's adenture" type magazine covers.
Frank Soltesz' work can be found in several different areas: Men's magazine covers (a descendant of Pulp) , state map illustrations, landscapes, adevertising.

He was born in 1912 in Pennsylvania of Slovakian immigrants.
1946 ad.
