Robert Guinan (March 14, 1934 – April 3, 2016) was an American painter based in Chicago.[1] The subject matter of his work includes but has not been limited to street performers, musicians, barflies, historical scenes, landscapes and building structures.[2] Lauded in Europe but widely unknown in his native Chicago, Guinan's work reflects a documentary quality that has been compared to "that of the Parisian demi-mondes as chronicled and interpreted by Toulouse-Lautrec."[3]
