The
most famous of all female pin-up artist, Zoe Mozert (1907-1993)
is clearly a student of the Rolf Armstrong pastel style. She
often did her own modelling, and she is noted for rejecting
sexy-girl cliches in favor of depicting more women in a more
real setting, with recognisably individual personalities and
features.
Her cover portraits of Hollywood starlets for such publications
as Screen Book and Romantic Movie Stories were very popular,
but she also did covers for periodicals like American Weekly
and True Confessions.
While most of her work - including such deliriously romantic
nudes as "Moonglow" and "Sweet Dreams" - was calendar-oriented,
Mozert also made a name as a movie poster artist, notably for
Carole Lombard's True Confession, and the notorious Jane Russell/Howard
Hughes The Outlaw. Even her less sultry sirens showed both charm
and sex appeal.
