Elvgren - Reviews
"Parmi les incontournables à petit prix figurent deux superbes ouvrages des éditions TASCHEN disponibles sur amazon.fr ou dans toutes les bonnes librairies. Il s'agit du très fameux livre L'Age d'or de la Pin-up américaine et de Gil Elvgren - the complete pin-ups. Les 380 pages du premier livre nous plongent dans l'univers des meilleurs illustrateurs américains des années '30 à '60, classés par ordre alphabétique de Rolf Armstrong à Ted Whiters. Tout aussi richement illustré, le second livre retrace l'intégralité de la carrière de Gil Elvgren sur 270 pages. Les deux bouquins offrent aux lecteurs des textes historiques très complets en français."Kustom Garage, ParisFrance |

“If you love the traditional images of an all-American gal hitching up her skirt and flashing her stocking tops, you really can’t afford to miss out on this amazing compilation of work from Gil Elvgren…This book is bubbling over with heaving bosoms, tight corsets, polka dot bikinis, saucy negligees and cheeky smiles.
