The Publics

One of the most celebrated American illustrators of the 20th century, Robert McGinnis is best known for his era-defining film posters of the ’60s – the 007 films, Barbarella and Breakfast at Tiffany’s just to name a few. Before becoming involved in film, McGinnis spent the bulk of his career designing jackets for pulp crime novels, wherein he became renown for crafting images of sexy, intelligent and dangerous women – a fresh representation that helped reform the sexual politics of his time.
