Zoë Mozert (born in Colorado Springs, CO ✦1907 - died Flagstaff, AZ †1993). Her real name was Alice Adelaide Moser. She was one of the few female students Howard Pyle took under his wing. Zoe trained as an illustrator as fellow students of Howard Pyle, Maxfield Parish and N.C.Wyeth had. In 1932 she moved to New York and in the following years painted hundreds of magazine covers. Zoe frequently was her own model.

The most famous female pin-up artist, Mozert is an exemplary disciple of the Rolf Armstrong pastel style. Often her own model, Mozert is noted for rejecting sexy-girl clichés in favor of depicting more real-seeming young women, with recognizably individual features and personalities.

Her cover portraits of Hollywood starlets for such publications as Romantic Movie Stories and Screen Book were particularly popular, but she also contributed covers to such periodicals as American Weekly and "True Confessions".

While the bulk of her work including such deliriously romantic nudes as "Moonglow" and "Sweet Dreams" was calendar-oriented (primarily for Brown & Bigelow), Mozert also made a mark as a movie poster artist, notably for Carole Lombard's "True Confession", and the notorious Jane Russell/Howard Hughes sex and sagebrush saga, "The Outlaw".

During World War II she painted her most famous "Victory Girls" series of pictures.

Zoe Mozert died in Arizona in 1993.
