WILLEM FREDERICK TEN BROEK (1905-1993)
HOLLAND - AMERIKA LINIE. 1936.
38x25 inches, 96½x63½ cm. Joh. Enschedé en Zonen, Haarlem. Condition A: small repaired tears at edges; minor creases in image.
By 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 German version.
