The spectacular, streamlined, porpoise-shaped, yet never built Ocean Liner designed in 1932 by Norman Bel Geddes (1893–1958)pic.twitter.com/J7OyHwVFtN
Bel Geddes's Ocean Liner model "retains features of Valéry's 'objet ambigu'. One can see that it is a manmade machine, yet it nonetheless has taken on the appearance of a thing shaped by wind and water, like a smoothly polished bone" https://bit.ly/2xM8Ew9 pic.twitter.com/UlV2ZX5K6n
