Ahoy Sailor!

0/5 ( ratings)

• Perfect for any collector or lover of the sea • Featuring an incredible collections of images, works of art, photographs, about sailors • Introductory essay by Cathie Fidler Ahoy Sailor! offers the reader another mesmerizing foray into the mind of collector par excellence and archivist of the everyday, Daniel Rozensztroch. Rozensztroch’s interests have moved fruitfully between the specific and the general , but now they journey out to sea, gathering and presenting a singular collection of objects, images, and representations of sailors and seamen. The ocean has inspired an expansive world of vernacular and popular imagery, much of it uncanny and unique, produced by the tension between the laws of nature that rule the oceans and the miniature floating societies left to their mercy. Meticulously drawn together, and with an individuality that has become his trademark, Rozensztroch gives the reader a visual feast that ranges from antique toys and postage stamps to French artist Jean Cocteau’s beguiling sketches and Jean Genet’s scandalously delirious prose.
