ROBERT MCGINNIS (1926-)

Adam, Eve, and Lilith in The Garden of Eden.

Illustration for an unidentified work, likely book cover or adult magazine, early 1970s. Gouache on Bainbridge board. 380x253 mm; 15x10 inches. Signed "R. McGinnis" in pencil, lower right.

This work was discussed and shown to the artist and his son, Kyle McGinnis, in 2017-18 but neither could pinpoint exactly where the illustration appeared. They felt that it was most likely created for one of the numerous men's magazine that McGinnis illustrated, but ultimately unused because of its risqué nudity.
