Bolles remains largely a figure of mystery, but he has achieved a laudable amount of latter day fame. His wonderful images of exuberant  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. Bolles was a genius, and his pictures reveal an artistry second to none in the pin-up genre.
