Title:
Mutiny on the Bounty Design Notes: Lush, tropical,Tahiti was a lynch pin in the Bounty story and was represented in the exhibition by formally placed palm trees and the use of breadfruit motif wallpaper designed for the exhibition. Review: “The National Maritime Museum has achieved a new triumph... I cannot recall any exhibition which combines so successfully all the senses... Here is atmospheric appeal at its most evocative... I did get the feeling in the Tahiti room... of spiritual bliss... spacious beautiful glimpses into a thrilling, terrible event... there is never any confusion between the modern theatrical scenes and the numerous beautiful old pictures and objects.” (Graham Hughes, Arts Review, UK). Client Comments: “Rosemary Simons was the project designer (of ‘Mutiny on the Bounty’) and produced an imaginative scheme which brought the dramatic story to life by a series of tableaux, and beautifully mounted original artifacts. She worked very well with the curators here at Greenwich, and produced immaculate drawings for the contractors to work from, the whole project being carried out to a very tight schedule... Rosemary Simons is a designer of flair and originality. She is extremely hard working and is a perfectionist in her desire to achieve the highest standards of presentation. She understands all the requirements necessary for displaying valuable and fragile artifacts and is able to provides stylish solutions to the most complex design problems.” (Dr David Cordingly MA D. Phil. FRASA Head of Exhibitions, National Maritime Museum Greenwich London.1990). Acknowledgments: |
