American artist and illustrator Robert E McGinnis is best known for his movie poster and book cover illustrations, though he has also done work for various newspapers and magazines.

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. Some of his most ambitious works have been his gallery paintings, often depicting stunning American landscapes, vast Western vistas, and of course, beautiful women. His first movie poster was for Breakfast at Tiffany’s, with an iconic rendering of Audrey Hepburn. A Modern Master Robert E.

"A quick note for longtime McGinnis fans" according to Jim Atherton. If readers have been followers of this remarkable illustrator for some time, they may already have a copy of "Tapestry: The Paintings of Robert McGinnis" published back in the year 2000. Such readers may be wondering if that book is entirely redundant with this one and if this one is worth having. Well, I think it is. Any career overview of this type has certain highlights that need to be acknowledged, and those images are present in both books, but this volume seems determined not to present them in the same way. Images that appeared as quarter-page reproductions in "Tapestry," the fr. Vathek said Stupendous. Brilliant. Shockingly good (and that's just the first twenty pages). I was a casual admirer of McGinnis' art from his Hard Case Crime covers and rolled the dice and picked this book up. As soon as I was twenty or so pages in I realized that I previously had had NO IDEA of the depth of this man's talent! This is a truly INCREDIBLE book, and one recommend to ANY fan of American art and illustration.
