this type of hardness, toughness about life breaks me up. Sinatra made a career out of it. Now you hear it in truck commercials.

Robert McGinnis (born February 3, 1926)[1] is an American artist and illustrator. McGinnis is known for his illustrations of more than 1,200 paperback book covers,[2] and over 40 movie posters, including Breakfast at Tiffanys (his first film poster assignment),[3]Barbarella, and several James Bond and Matt Helm films.[4]
A lot of his work is very commercial. Cheesy to tell you the truth. But you’ve got to tip your hat to anyone who manages to make a living in any avenue of art.
A lot of Jorg Immendorff’s work looks like it is on fire. I get the impression of a man who wants to be in the present. To create an urgency in a medium which by its nature is static. He wants to say something.
I think it is this passion that makes Immendorff create paintings that have a collage affect. Like the generation of posters hanging on walls. Some partly torn off, some almost completely covered, some glorifying in their complete newness.
Hard not to be impressed by this work. And I’ll bet his greatest influence was grade 10 geography. Ben Young
I hate both words. I’ve met neither. They are iconic figures rather than human beings.
