WILLEM FREDERIK TEN BROEK HOLLAND-AMERICA LINE. 1936.
381/2x25 inches. Jos. Enschede en Zonen, Haarlem.
Condition B+: expertly repaired tears in bottom margin.
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).
