| Views of dazzle exhibition in Brest, France (2018) |
In an earlier post, we featured an
Australian cruise boat that had been dazzle-painted by artist
Katy Mutton. Launched in October 2016, it operated on Lake Burley Griffin (Canberra, Australia) for twelve months. Since then,
Katy Mutton has moved on to other challenges. Most recently, as shown in the photos in her news update (above), she visited the
Musée national de la Marine in Brest, France, to see the on-going exhibit about
World War I ship camouflage.
Note in particular the photo at the bottom left, which shows an exquisite model of the port side of an eccentric camouflage scheme designed by
Frank M. Watson, called the
Watson-Norfolk System (c1917).
