I am still searching and reading about Bolles and buying the occasional magazine.<br />I hope someday to get the March issue of 37 .. you gave me a copy of that one. Girl in red with bow and arrow. As a young girl I was obsessed with drawing glamor type girls and designing clothes for them. I studied fashion illustration in college (Stephens) but little call for it in Tabor, Iowa. I am not sure if I would ever have been a success as that was the tail end of the illustration era . Photos pretty much took over. That is where my fascination with the pin up began and I STILL love them. I watched several of Mariann Davies' silent movies... making them stop in a profile that was like my painting. Bolles was a very good portrait artist and the likeness is just perfect for Mariann Davies. The oppulence of the big fur, flapper dress and turban all are correct. Wouldn't it be fun to think that perhaps William Randolph Hearst had that commissioned? Bolles did a lot of that kind of work to keep the bills paid. <br />Get that book out there !<br /><br />Best , SherrieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7701969497419397329.post-38255387966625348402010-03-06T06:21:11.932-08:002010-03-06T06:21:11.932-08:00Wow, how great is that post?
