Cover Art by Robert McGinnis

My post Look of Love (inspired by the wonderful book of Jennifer McKnight-Trontz) shows you how romance covers are changed the from the '20 to the end of the twenty century. Wonderful covers (and many of them so you are warned the post is heavy!) by the biggest names of Graphic Design like Geralg Gregg, Barye Phillips, Bob Stanley, Robert Maguire, Lou Marchetti, Robert McGinnis and many others. Enjoy!

So THAT'S what you said. *g* I checked out the link. BEAUTIFUL pictures. I don't think she's mad. I think her artwork is amazing.

She was one of the most talented cover artist of the '70 and '80. I still miss her works. Elisa
