    Bernard Charoy was an artist known for his illustrations, book covers, and cartoons. In the 1960s, he contributed to publications such as Le Figaro and Ici Paris, while also creating pin-up art that became popular in calendars and magazines. The term "pin-up" was coined during this time for drawings of young women in suggestive poses, and Charoy's work in this genre gained recognition. Additionally, in the U.S., artist Mel Ramos popularized pin-up art as metal figurines that truckers would hang from the front of their trucks.
