Robert McGinnis:
Painting The Last Rose Of Summer
A new DVD featuring an interview with the artist and an in-depth
examination of his work is now available. Robert McGinnis is considered to
be the complete illustrator by many of his peers. With a wide range of
subject matter, McGinnis brought paperback illustration to a new level of
style with his "McGinnis Woman" cover art for Mike Shayne and Carter Brown
paperbacks. McGinnis also created classic movie poster art for films such
as Breakfast at Tiffany's, Barbarella and The Odd Couple. In
addition to his Hollywood film posters, McGinnis will be remembered as the
artist who defined the James Bond 'look' in the 60's and 70's - with
striking artwork for Thunderball, Casino Royale (1967), You Only
Live Twice, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Diamonds Are Forever, Live
And Let Die and The Man With The Golden Gun. |
