Pirates is a map to the scenic world of the buccaneer, looking back to classical artwork, maps and advertising to reveal how these iconic figures make their presence known today. It shows how style idols like David Bowie and the Rolling Stones incorporated the pirates sense of romanticism and danger into their famous looks, as well as how the flair of the pirating lifestyle has been represented in contemporary fashion, vintage advertising and art, cartoons, costume design, and numerous golden age films and musicals. With a broad array of culturally diverse pirates both fictional and real represented, 'Pirates' visually demonstrates the roguish allure that has been captivating artists, designers, and fashionistas for centuries |
