Roger K. Furse

Roger Kemble Furse (11 September 1903 - 1972) was the son of Lieutenant General Sir William Furse, and was educated at Eton and then the Slade School of Fine Arts in London. A frequent collaborator with Laurence Olivier, Furse won two Oscars in 1948 for his art direction and costume design of Olivier’s version of “Hamlet”. His other film credits include “Henry V” (1945), “Odd Man Out” (1947), “Ivanhoe” (1952) and “The Roman Spring of Mrs Stone” (1961). In 1946 he created the sets for the ballet "Adam Zero" at Covent Garden.

He was also nominated for a Tony Award in 1961 for his set design of the Broadway hit ‘Duel of Angels’.

His portrait of one of his wives, Margaret Furse, herself a costume designer and an Academy Award nominee, is included in the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London. His sister was the character actress Judith Furse.
