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: repaired tears, creases, skinning and minor losses in margins, not affecting image; creases and abrasions in image. Taking a wonderful, Cassandre-esque fish-eye view of a ship, twisting it a little to the side and adding an Art Deco curve to its profile, 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. English version. Dutch Poster 101, Schip & Affiche 27 (var), Art Deco Graphics p. 73 (var).
