There are true artists

Pierre et Gilles set a new standard when it comes to their combination of photograpy and painting. No wonder photographers like David La Chappelle try to knock off their style (imitation is the highest form of flattery). I found this massive coffee table book to be thorough, entertaining, titillating, and funny. I would recommend it to anyone interesting in modern "pop" art and portrait photography. The imagination of these two is priceless as is this collection of their work.

Wonderful artwork.

The photography of Pierre and Gilles is absolutly fantastic. This makes a stunning coffee table book.

a very good compilation of a unique artwork.....

those guys really know how to "define" the people through their individual,colourful and sensitive panorama.all of the works have the same point of having "coudn't-have-explain-in-a-another-way" style and different points beacause of the models' different charismas and notable traits. a must-have holy book of kitsch art..
