Product Description
Say happy birthday to an American legend. Introduced 35 years ago, Barbie is by far the most popular doll ever created. To celebrate, over 100 artists, photographers, fashion designers, illustrators, and Barbie-philes created a stunning visual homage in full color and black-and-white. Witty, surprising, and irreverent interpretations, from the creator of The Art of Mickey Mouse.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: The Art of Barbie (Paperback) I have collected Barbies for many years and received this book as a gift. I thought it was wonderfully interesting to see many different artists' interpretation of Barbie and her influence on society. I haven't looked at the book for a few years, and I can still picture some of the images - Barbie swimming in French Fries (a play on American diet vs. Barbie's slim figure?) and many dolls watching a huge Barbie face on a movie screen (Is Barbie taking over the world? Should we be on the lookout for Big Barbie?). Overall, I agree that this is a fun coffee table book that would stimulate a lot of interesting conversation.
