Bikini art is a category of art that embraces summertime. These works often contain beach images and remind the viewer of sun, surf, and the activities of summer. These works often feature people in their execution, although there are some works of bikini art that focus on the clothing itself, rather than any particular activity.
Many of these summertime illustrations are whimsical pictures that bear little resemblance to real life. These works are often cartoon-like in nature and serve as a ironic statement that stands in direct contrast of more serious works of bikini art. However, these whimsical pictures, like 'Judy and Marge' by Lowell Herrero, are meant to be fun, and sometimes funny, beach images rather than a protest against other summertime prints.
