The Great age of ocean travel has long since passed, but ocean
liners remain one of the most powerful and admired symbols of
modernity. No form of transport was as romantic, remarkable, or
contested, and ocean liner design became a matter of national
prestige as well as an arena in which the larger dynamics of global
competition were played out. This beautifully illustrated book
considers over a century of liner design: from the striking
graphics created to promote liners to the triumphs of engineering,
and from luxurious interiors to on board fashion and activities.
Ocean Liners explores the design of Victorian and Art Deco
'floating palaces', sleek post-war liners as well as these ships'
impact on avant-garde artists and architects such as Le Corbusier.
In American Waters is the catalog of an exhibition co-organized by
Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas,
and Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts.The exhibition and
this associated catalog invite visitors to discover the sea as an
expansive way to reflect on American culture and environment, learn
how coastal and maritime symbols moved inland across the United
States, and question what it means to be 'in American waters.' Work
by Georgia O'Keeffe, Amy Sherald, Kay WalkingStick, Norman
Rockwell, Hale Woodruff, Paul Cadmus, Thomas Hart Benton, Jacob
Lawrence, Valerie Hegarty, Stuart Davis, and many others is
included, along with essays from scholars, critics, and the
curators.
