This biography from the Archives of AskART:
|  Enoch Bolles was the cover illustrator for Film Fun for 21 years
beginning in 1921. His career virtually ended when the magazine
went out of business, but he continued to paint commissioned portraits
and for pleasure for the rest of his life.
While he has achieved
a laudable amount of latter-day fame, Enoch Bolles remains largely a
figure of mystery. He apparently ended his days in an insane
asylum, where he "improved" on his wonderful canvases by adding such
touches as jagged jewelry and hovering phalluses.
He also did illustrations for Francis Smilby's wonderful book Stolen Sweets
(1981, Playboy Press), and Robert A. Brown's two Spiry card sets
(Kitchen Sink Press), all of which brim with wonderful images of
exuberant Bolles girls.
Sleek, naughty, these flapper-style
dolls, with their bee-stung lips and voluptuous figures, lounge in
lingerie and other unlikely forms of sex-fantasy dress-up as -
exemplified by this blonde in fur coat and bathing suit.
