In a time where most publications and pulp cover artists exploited female sexuality to sell, George proved the contrary. Bill Cox, an established pulp writer, applauded George for making mind-blowing paintings without scantily dressed ladies and more so for convincing his publishers Fiction House to let him. Immediately after high school, George set out to become an artist by joining Pratt Institute. His father David Gross, a fashion artist, had gone through the same institute. Before George graduated, he was already working on his pre-war pulp covers. He worked with his siblings Arthur and Beatrice Gross in their father’s art studio Fashion Paper in Manhattan. His early experience in the studio introduced him to illustrations for commercial purposes. He accomplished his first pulp covers for Mystery Novels Magazine and Double Action Western which were both products of Winford Publications. In 1936 George’s father opened a new studio the Nangro Ferrod in another part of Manhattan. George continued working with his brother Andrew who was an established pen and ink pulp story illustrator. Still, as a budding pulp artist George Gross managed to sell his freelance illustrations to Paperback Books giving him an opportunity to work with publishers such as Bantam, Berkley Books, Cameo Books, Dell, Star Books, Lion Books, and Ace Publications. As George’s talent grew, so did his career. He soon found a place in the established Fiction House and went on to become their top illustrator. As a freelance pulp cover artist, he did covers for North West Romances, Detective Book Magazine, Football Stories, Jungle Stories, Complete Northwest, Action Stories, Air Stories and Fight Stories. In 1940 George married his first wife Dora Gross and moved to Queens as a recognized pulp cover artist. In 1942 at thirty three years he tried to join the world war two but was rejected from military service due to permanent vision impairment in his right eye. The condition affected his depth of perception, forcing him to wear corrective glasses. After the rejection, he continued with his career as a pulp cover artist and got the opportunity to share a studio with another illustrator Mort Kunstler, in a Tribeca warehouse Lower Manhattan in 1950. He went on to work for men's adventure magazines the notable ones being Male, Cavalcade, Action For Men, Man's Illustrated, Man's World, Real, Saga, See, Stag, Argosy, Bluebook, Man's Conquest, and True Adventures. To top his lifetime career as a pulp magazine cover artist, George painted covers for the famous Avenger and the Nick Carter series published by Warner and Ace publications respectively. George Gross later died at 94 years in 2003. <img alt="2" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15498" height="751" src=" https://oldpics.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/24.jpg" width="700" />  <img alt="3" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15499" height="800" src=" https://oldpics.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/33.jpg" width="629" />  <img alt="4" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15500" height="800" src=" https://oldpics.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/43.jpg" width="652" />  <img alt="5" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15501" height="800" src=" https://oldpics.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/53.jpg" width="680" />  <img alt="6" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15502" height="800" src=" https://oldpics.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/63.jpg" width="591" />  <img alt="7" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15503" height="728" src=" https://oldpics.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/73.jpg" width="700" />  <img alt="8" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15504" height="800" src=" https://oldpics.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/83.jpg" width="550" />  <img alt="22" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15505" height="721" src=" https://oldpics.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/222.jpg" width="700" />  <img alt="9" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15506" height="800" src=" https://oldpics.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/92.jpg" width="609" />  <img alt="ddddd" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15507" height="675" src=" https://oldpics.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/ddddd.jpg" width="473" />  <img alt="33" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15508" height="733" src=" https://oldpics.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/331.jpg" width="700" />  <img alt="11" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15509" height="800" src=" https://oldpics.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/113.jpg" width="642" />  <img alt="rggggggggggggg" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15510" height="675" src=" https://oldpics.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/rggggggggggggg.jpg" width="473" />  <img alt="6666" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15512" height="800" src=" https://oldpics.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/6666.jpg" width="580" />  <img alt="555" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15513" height="800" src=" https://oldpics.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/555.jpg" width="474" />  <img alt="44" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15514" height="530" src=" https://oldpics.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/44.jpg" width="700" />  <img alt="99" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15516" height="800" src=" https://oldpics.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/992.jpg" width="615" />  <img alt="yyyyy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15517" height="675" src=" https://oldpics.info/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/yyyyy.jpg" width="473" />

It was a hairy decade! <img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-17151" height="499" src="http://oldpicsarchive.online/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/70s-men-hairstyle-10-210x300.jpg" width="350" /> <img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-17152" height="480" src="http://oldpicsarchive.online/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/70s-men-hairstyle-9-219x300.jpg" width="350" /> <img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-17153" height="491" src="http://oldpicsarchive.online/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/70s-men-hairstyle-8-214x300.jpg" width="350" /> <img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-17154" height="499" src="http://oldpicsarchive.online/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/70s-men-hairstyle-7-210x300.jpg" width="350" /> <img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-17156" height="483" src="http://oldpicsarchive.online/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/70s-men-hairstyle-5-214x300.jpg" width="345" /> <img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-17157" height="467" src="http://oldpicsarchive.online/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/70s-men-hairstyle-4-225x300.jpg" width="350" /> <img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-17158" height="465" src="http://oldpicsarchive.online/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/70s-men-hairstyle-3-226x300.jpg" width="350" /> <img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-17159" height="469" src="http://oldpicsarchive.online/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/70s-men-hairstyle-2-224x300.jpg" width="350" /> <img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-17160" height="466" src="http://oldpicsarchive.online/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/70s-men-hairstyle-1-225x300.jpg" width="350" /> Continuing on from the 1960s, the ducktail and Pompadour hairstyle (then known as the “Elvis Presley hairstyle”) were popular among young Italian-American and Mexican-American men in big cities like|prefer|love New York. Large quantities of grease or brylcreem was normally used to keep the hair in place. The early and mid 1970s generally featured longer hair on men, as way|means of rebelling against the social norms of years past. Sideburns were also worn around the same time. Some|A Few of the most popular hairstyles for men include “Long and Luscious” hairstyle, mod haircut, and the “buzzcut” hairstyle popularised by action heroes like|prefer|love Steve McQueen. In the late 1970s, men went for the chop, ranging from crew cuts, to buzz cuts, to a shag. This was mainly done for an athletic look, and sideburns and facial hair went out of style. <h3> </h3> <h3> The Beatles influence</h3> power on men’s hair started in the early 1960s with their shaggy “moptop” style. A few years later they went all hippie, influencing men to grow their hair and sparking the trend for facial hair. <img alt="" class="wp-image-17162 size-full aligncenter" height="700" src="http://oldpicsarchive.online/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/the-beatles1.jpg" width="500" /> Other musicians and musical styles also influenced their followers – for the young, it was about belonging to something and having a common identity with that band or genre. For example, rock bands influenced the wearing of no-nonsense longer hair, reggae had dreadlocks and the short rude boy, glam and pop had various|assorted|several|different layered and textured styles. Society had an influence|power on how men appeared to wear their hair and facial hair in certain circumstances during the very early 1970s. Since long hair for men had re-emerged in the 1960s, conservative people and institutions viewed long hair and facial as morally corrupt and just plain wrong. There are plenty|hundreds|tons|lots of cases worldwide of long-haired students getting banned from college or school, men with long hair being attacked or forcibly shaved, and job adverts stating “moustaches not welcome”. This led to Some|A Few men adjusting their style to be able to “fit in” with more conservative situations, yet still able to embrace the fast-growing|increasing trend for long hair. For example, using short-haired wigs to conceal long hair when working or flat hunting, or wearing a false moustache when away|back|aside from the “no moustache” bank or office.
