EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Doris Zinkeisen is captured in the midst of her creative process as she meticulously prepares designs for the cabaret bar of the iconic ocean liner, the Queen Mary. The image, dated 1935, finds the renowned British artist deeply engrossed in her work, with an easel and brushes at the ready, a smock protecting her clothes, and a determined expression on her face. The setting of her studio, filled with an eclectic mix of artwork, books, and personal mementos, adds to the sense of artistic inspiration and creativity. Doris Zinkeisen (1904-1986) was a celebrated figure in the British art scene of the 1930s, known for her vibrant and colorful paintings of interiors, still lifes, and figurative works. Her designs for the Queen Mary, which included decorative schemes for the cabaret bar and other spaces aboard the ship, showcased her unique artistic vision and ability to blend modern and traditional styles. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the world of a working artist, revealing the dedication, focus, and creativity that went into bringing her designs to life. The 1930s, or the "Golden Age" of ocean liner travel, was a time of glamour, luxury, and innovation. The Queen Mary, which set sail in 1936, was a symbol of this era, offering passengers an unparalleled experience at sea. Doris Zinkeisen's contributions to the ship's interior design helped to create an atmosphere of elegance and sophistication that continues to captivate people to this day. This photograph serves as a testament to the artist's talent and the enduring allure of the golden age of ocean travel.
