Leo Jansen painted 58 of the first 72 Playboy Playmates and his originals now sell for thousands. These large decorative prints remain extremely popular for mid-century, retro, boudoir, and bachelor-pad decor. He was commissioned by Playboy Magazine to paint the playmate of the month. In his first six years, he was the artist chosen to paint 58 of the 72 portraits. His works hang in the Hugh Hefner's Playboy corporate headquarters and in the mansion. Ranked among the nation's best interpretive artist of nudes, Jansen's canvases hang in collection of a wide range of notables from Jean-Claude Pascal to the late Judy Garland. He died from an apparent heart attack in 1980 at 50 years of age.
