by Pierre Gilles (Editor)

Bizarre and full of obscure significance, glitter, flowers, and hearts, these portraits are reminiscent of still from film. This collection of kitsch encompasses selections of Pierre et Gilles' most delectable works on the recurring theme of sailors and the sea.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I was expecting to get. Lovable.

This book is just what I was looking for. I originally wanted one of the Pierre and Gilles' huge books, but finding this one at the price it was was a great surprise. That's why I got it. It has some of the greatest photos of them, so it is a very good value. What I disliked is that it didn't come in a decent package and the cover paper was a little damaged. Besides that, I had no problem at all.

I would recommend this product to everyone.

I love Pierre et Gilles! Their work is so amazing and this book does not disappoint. Their lighting is like no other! You could look through this book for hours wondering how they shot this.

A very long time ago a good friend of mine had introduce me to some of the works of Pierre et Gilles, I was so taken by their great art works. Knowing both artist live as a gay couple and very happily in love makes me more adore and admire their works. If you are like me and love to see the true beauty of art and romance together then by all means this iten is for you. Or you can try and get if still been public, the "Pierre et Gilles Double je 1976 - 2007" book. I had to buy the "Pierre et Gilles: Sailors and Sea (icons series)" book for my boyfriends Birthday and he loved it.

Nice to add to the collection. The book format is small so I think I will need to shop about for the large format hardcover version which was excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Une merveille de toute beauté !
Reviewed in France on February 14, 2010

Ce petit livre de 190 pages regroupe l'essentiel de l'oeuvre marine de Pierre et Gilles. Il y a également, en trois langues (FR, EN, D) un résumé biographique, ainsi qu'une petite explication, mais précise, de leur rencontre, de leurs enfances (avec photos) et de leur travail en commun.
Il n'y a pas à hésiter une seconde ! Moins de 5 euros pour environ 150 photos couleurs de leur création, le tout dans un format moyen (19 x 13cm pour les plus grandes) et de très belles qualités.
