Born in Duluth, Minnesota in the year 1937, Jerry 'Baron' von Lind was the
fourth son of Alma & Hjalmar von Lind. His father Hjalmar was born the son
of Baron Johann von Lind in a small town outside of Stockholm, Sweden.

After several years in the military Baron embarked on a career in the field
of art. That career encompassed several facets of the commercial art field
including advertising, editorial art, calendars & portraits. Baron worked
his way up through the ranks at studios in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. In
doing work for several calendar companies including Shedd-Brown and Brown &
Bigelow he came in contact with some of the legendary pin-up artists of that
time...Gillette Elvgren, Frtiz Willis & Bill Medcalf. Inspired by these
greats, Baron pursued a style reminiscent of these immortal artists...which he
continues to this day in his studio in southern California. The renewed
popularity of this vintage art has inspired him to create new and exciting
images for today's collectors. He paints in oil on canvas...trust me these
luscious ladies look even more delectable in real!

I am a collector of vintage pinup art and a big fan of Baron von Lind's paintings. He may be the only vintage pinup artist form the 1950's that is still painting. You can see some of his best vintage pinup paintings at The Baron Collection site, www.TheBaronCollection.comĀ
