WILLEM FREDERICK TEN BROEK (1905-1993) HOLLAND - AMERICA LINE. 1936. 38x25 inches, 96 1/2x63 1/2 cm. Joh. Enschede en Zonen, Haarlem. Condition B+ / B: expert restoration and overpainting along tears in text and image. Employing a dramatic, Cassandre-esque, low-angle perspective of a sleek ocean liner, twisting it a little to the side and adding an Art Deco curve to its profile, Ten Broek creates a powerful, sweeping image. Unlike Cassandre's ship posters, which feature specific vessels, Ten Broek is not heralding the launch of a new liner, but rather glorifying the company and the concept of sea travel as a whole. This is the English version. Poster Progress p. 104, Modern Dutch 101, Schipp & Affiche 27 (var), Art Deco Graphics p. 73 (var), Encyclopedie de l'Affiche p. 207 (var), Weallans p. 157 (var).
