Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2002

Darling of the Paris fashion scene and leading exponent of French graphic design Laurent Fetis is highly acclaimed for his insidious, modern take on 60s/70s Yellow Submarine psychedelia, liberally splashing monochrome, organic expanses, and dozy, moustachoid gentlemen in two-piece suits across posters, magazines, and album covers.

3.0 out of 5 stars SO SO..., August 29, 2009

This review is from: ABC+ (Hardcover)

This is a descent book, the price isn't bad. I don't look at it much anymore and have found other books to be stronger and more visually creative/inspirational. I didn't know much about the artist when i purchased it, so that may the reason why I feel it is only a descent book.

It has some great color uses, vary vibrant, but different from what I imagined it was going to be overall. It's a nice book to have around on the coffee table.

Why purchase this book? Ok, here's why:

The cover and the craftsmanship of this book nearly warrant its purchase alone. The work of French designer Laurent Fétis is absolutely stunning. His style and originality has been featured on the covers of bands like Tahiti 80 and Mellow while working for labels such as Emperor, Minty Fresh, Escalator, Emi, Virgin, Universal.. and so on. His work has also been exhibited at the Pompidou Centre (Paris Museum of Modern Art). If you like colorful, vibrant, hip and swanky graphic design, buy this book. It will look great on your coffee table or as an addition to your design book collection. Enjoy.
