A Modern Master Robert E. McGinnis began his career in 1947 as a
cartoonist, and produced his first cover illustrations for 1956
issues of the magazines True Detective and Master Detective. Then
in 1958, he painted his first paperback book cover, and from that
day forward his work was in demand. The emergence of the "McGinnis
Woman" - long-legged, intelligent, alluring, and enigmatic -
established him as the go-to artist for detective novels. His work
appeared on Mike Shayne titles and the Perry Mason series, and he
produced 100 paintings for the Carter Brown adventures. Yet
McGinnis became famous for his work in other genres as well:
espionage, romance, historicals, gothics, and Westerns. McGinnis's
first major magazine assignments were for The Saturday Evening
Post, and his work has graced the pages of Cosmopolitan, National
Geographic, Good Housekeeping, Guideposts, and others. McGinnis
women frequently cropped up in the men's magazines of the '60s and
'70s. His first movie poster was for Breakfast at Tiffany's, with
an iconic rendering of Audrey Hepburn. Almost instantly, his poster
artwork could be seen everywhere - in theaters, on billboards, in
newspapers, and even on soundtrack albums. His work for Hollywood
became a who's-who, with posters for James Bond, The Odd Couple,
Woody Allen, The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, and many more.
Some of his most ambitious works have been his gallery paintings,
often depicting stunning American landscapes, vast Western vistas,
and of course, beautiful women. The Art of Robert E. McGinnis
collection reveals the full scope and beauty of the work of a true
American master - one whose legacy continues today.
