"Breezy Stories," Vol. 57, No. 8 (December 1949). Cover Art by Enoch Bolles. A Phil Painter Publication.

Enoch Bolles (1883-1976) had a significant reputation in the early twentieth century for his sexy, provocative cover paintings for spicy magazines. His pin-up girls with their childlike faces and sensual bodies had a distinctive look and were full of energy and fun-loving. Tragically, Bolles suffered a mental collapse in 1938 and spent a large part of his life in a New Jersey mental institution until his release in 1969. He spent the last seven years of his life at his family home in New Jersey where he died of heart failure on March 16, 1976.
