ROBERT McGINNIS
One might think there was no other place to go in the search for the ideal, no new ground to break in capturing in two dimensions the beauty of the eternal feminine,” wrote Al Fick, about McGinnis’ famous figures. From gallery paintings to film posters to avidly collected book covers, Robert McGinnis has created some of the most visible, influential, and alluring art of the past five decades. Much of that allure can be attributed to the nearly omnipresent “McGinnis Women” – beautiful women rendered with such mesmerizing sensuality and grace that, as one author put it, they could make a book a bestseller among people who couldn’t read. McGinnis painted his first paperback book cover in 1958, launching a career that would include over 1200 book covers. His paintings were the basis for the iconographic posters for films including “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”, “Barbarella”, and numerous James Bond movies where he created the idealized “Bond Woman”. McGinnis’s drawings and artwork have appeared in major magazines including National Geographic, Time, The Saturday Evening Post, Cosmopolitan, and Reader’s Digest.
