Negative Positive
Title: the cover is deceptive
Review: Robert McGinnis was a genius at figure painting, and as an illustrator - his style is beautiful crafted and appealing. However he mostly painted nudes for 50's-70's novel covers so the content of this book is mostly small images of soft porn. I was hoping for more figure painting, but the image on the cover is one of the few in the book with clothes on.If I'd known that, I wouldn't have wasted my money.His other book 'tapestry' covers a broader range of his subject matter and you also get westerns, land/seascapes as well as helpful, larger scale images where you can see brushstrokes and details as well as working methods.A talented illustrator, but I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.
