Robert Stanley The Whipping Room Paperback Cover Painting Original Art (Designs Publishing Corp., 1952). An evocative image of a disheveled woman facing the fear of a whip that has been presented as the cover for three different publications: The Whipping Room (1952) by Florenz Branch, which was originally painted to show the whip held in a male hand; The Thing That Made Love (Uni, 1954) by David V. Reed, which used the image of the woman with a different background; and Warped Women (Beacon, 1956) by Janet Pritchard, featuring the painting as it exists now, reworked to make the male hand holding the whip female. Acrylic on 13″ x 17″ illustration board.
