RIP Robert McGinnes

 


Renowned painter/illustrator, Robert E. McGinnis, died at the age of 99, in Old Greenwich, Connecticut on March 10, 2025. Bob was one of the most prolific illustrators of the 20th century. It's likely you have seen one or more of his artwork images somewhere. They appeared in magazines such as The Saturday Evening Post, National Geographic, Good Housekeeping, McCall's, Reader's Digest and Guideposts; on many paperback book covers in the form of personal-project paintings that included many Old West scenes; and also on movie posters for culturally significant movies. McGinnes’ artwork was featured on several Spaghetti western American posters such as “The Big Gundown” (1966) and “Duck You Sucker”
