ABOUT THE ARTIST
Al Moore was a busy illustrator from the 1940s to the late 50s, generating advertising, fashion, story art, and pin-ups. He produced covers for Saturday Evening Post and Collier’s, and interior work for these and Woman's Home Companion, American Magazine, Woman's Day, McCall's, Cosmopolitan. He also commissioned many different advertisments for Hertz, Whitman's Chocolates, Ford, Camay, Nash, US Rubber, Coke, and Many more. Illustrator Al Moore replaced Alberto Vargas and George Petty as Esquire's main pin-up man. Moore's girls are less glossy and impossible than those of his talented predecessors, being more girl-next door realistic and natural. He provided calendars for Esquire, Brown and Bigelow. Moore passed away in 1991.
