DESCRIPTION:
Susan Paxton said A Titanic must-have. Ken Marschall has become the definitive artist of the Titanic, and his art has the reality of the photographs we so often lack. This book includes much of his Titanic work, including his very first painting of the great ship, and as a bonus includes some of his other liner artwork, of the Lusitania, Mauretania, Queen Mary, Normandie, and the Andrea Doria, as well as Titanic's two sisters Olympic and Britannic. The Titanic was simply the most beautiful ocean liner ever built - her lines are absolutely perfect - and Marschall captures her with love and respect. Very highly recommended.. Beautiful renderings of Marschall's familiar Titanic art A Customer Perhaps last on the Titanic bandwagon is this beautiful picture book of Ken Marschall's paintings.

Many of the paintings in this "Art of" book will be familiar to Titanic fans, especially ones who have read "Titanic: an Illustrated History" by Don Lynch, with paintings by Marschall. This book, however, focuses on the artwork of Marschall rat.

Like many, he fell in love with Titanic legend as a child and his passion for art soon combined with his passion for the "unsinkable" ship. This book is a presentation of his love, from art he did as a young boy, to his later paintings. There is art of Titanic in her moments of grand triumph when she was the "ship of dreams" -- and then heartwr
Ken Marschall delivers a magnificent volume featuring famous paintings, including the image that graced the September 1985 "Time" magazine cover when the underwater remains of the ship were discovered.
