Very nice examples of Bolle's handiwork there, bobby.

inside the artist: Enoch Bolles
Art-Deco pin-up master. Worked exclusively as a cover artist, painting oils for Film Fun, Screen Romances, Stolen Sweets, Gay Book, Judge, Titter, Cupid's Capers, Live Stories, Tattle Tales, Gay Parisienne, and the endless "Stories": Pep, Breezy, Snappy, Bedtime, Spicy. Excellent portraiturist, using the faces (and figures) of young starlets like Myrna Loy, Ida Lupino, etc. He liked to take his original pin-ups and add abstract touches.

...
further examples of his work:


Judge, "When Dreams May Come" (1923)



Film Fun, "Make Way for the Siren!" (1934)



Titter, "untitled" (1943)
