Embracing Extasy

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with these classic retro romance covers by Harry Bennett!  Born in New York and raised in Connecticut, Bennett served in World War II and later studied painting and illustration at Chicago’s American Academy of Art.  Starting in the 1950s, Bennett was one of the premier illustrators of gothic romance paperbacks.  After retiring from commercial illustration in his 60s, Bennett devoted himself to painting and exhibiting his own original work.
