About the Program:
ADSNY will celebrate the romance of Valentine’s Day with an enchanting illustrated talk presented by three engaging experts!
Sign up today to join Howard Mandelbaum and Eric Myers, authors of Screen Deco: A Celebration of High Style in Hollywood, as they offer an illustrated talk about how the design of the great Art Deco ocean liners became the backdrop for many of Hollywood’s most romantic films of the 1930s.
Bill Miller, acclaimed ocean liner expert, will elaborate on how Hollywood reflected the opulence and glamour of real-life transatlantic voyages on iconic Art Deco liners.
The evening will be filled with rich images of the famed stars of the silver screen falling in and out of love on the high seas and stories of their real-life counterparts and their transatlantic adventures.
Ocean liner programs fill quickly, so you are urged to claim your space today!
