A stunning original pastel by Zoe Mozert. Zoe's real name was Alice Adelaide Moser and she was one of the few female students Howard Pyle took under his wing. She was a pastel master, one of the few female glamour/pin-up artists and arguably the most famous. She made hundreds of covers, mostly for movie mags and pulps: True Story, Paris Nights, Romantic Movie Stories, Screen Book, and most notably, True Confessions, the title of which was used for a Carole Lombard film (Mozert supplied artwork for the movie). She also contributed covers to Hearst's American Weekly. Ads for Cole of California, Wing Cigarettes, Irresistible Beauty Aids, Raleigh Cigarettes. She became one of Brown and Bigelow's most popular calendar artists during the 40s and 50s. You can find more of Zoe's bio info at American Art Archives.com.
