Frank Cadogan Cowper RA (1877 - 1958)
Vanity, 1907

Connaissais pas. Découvert par une image postée par @MarieRuizVidal7 sur BS. Les Anglais sont parfois surprenants !

Trad DeepL du commentaire sur le site de la Royal Academy of Art :

Le sujet et la composition de Vanity s’inspirent de la peinture italienne de la Renaissance. Cowper a paré sa jeune beauté de bijoux et lui a donné un miroir à main pour signifier la vanité. Elle se tient devant une vigne, chargée de raisins mûrs, qui évoque l’abondance et le plaisir. Bien que le sujet de cette peinture soit profane, la pose d’une femme appuyée sur un parapet couvert rappelle l’imagerie de la Vierge à l’enfant de la Renaissance.

Bien que Cowper n’ait pas appartenu à un groupe artistique particulier, ce tableau, comme beaucoup de ses peintures, se rattache au travail des artistes connus aujourd’hui sous le nom de « préraphaélites de la deuxième génération ». Décoratif et richement coloré, Vanity évoque le romantisme du passé et fait allusion aux notions de chevalerie et d’amour courtois.

Les détails des tissus luxueux témoignent d’un regain d’intérêt pour les arts appliqués et l’artisanat, qui ont fait leur apparition dans l’art britannique de la fin du xıxᵉ siècle. Le motif serpentin élaboré de la robe de la femme pourrait avoir été inspiré par le portrait d’Isabelle d’Este attribué à Giulio Romano (Historic Royal Palaces). Edward Burne-Jones avait également représenté un tel motif dans son aquarelle Sidonia von Bork (1860, Tate Britain).

Social housing pioneer Renée Gailhoustet wins Royal Academy Architecture Prize

London's Royal Academy has announced that French architect Renée Gailhoustet has won its 2022 Architecture Prize.

Gailhoustet is the fourth winner of the Royal Academy (RA)'s Architecture Prize, which "celebrates under-recognised contributions" to architecture.

The French architect is an advocate of social architecture who is best known for the 10-storey Le Liégat apartment complex in Ivry-sur-Seine and the terraced La Maladrerie apartment block in Aubervilliers.

She currently lives and works from a studio within Le Liégat.

"Renée Gailhoustet's achievements reach far beyond what is produced as social or affordable housing anywhere today," said Farshid Moussavi, chair of the 2022 Royal Academy Architecture Awards jury.

"Her work has a strong social commitment that brings together generosity, beauty, ecology and inclusivity," she continued.

Alongside Moussavi, the jury included director of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture Farrokh Derakhshan, artist Cornelia Parker and British curator and writer Zoë Ryan.

The jury recognised Gailhoustet's work for its ability to foster social connection in urban environments along with the architect's lifelong commitment to developing social housing in the Paris suburbs.

"Renée Gailhoustet's impressive body of work consistently reflects her interest in realising architecture as a social and cultural practice," the jury said.

"Her buildings demonstrate a belief in social connections and an aspiration for structures and urban environments that are cohesive but underpinned by diversity."

British studio Apparata, Japanese studio Dot Architects, Peruvian not-for-profit organisation Semillas, and Indian studio Wallmakers were chosen for their contribution to the future of architecture. Last year, Chinese architecture studio BCKJ Architects won the award.

Last year Royal Academy appointed Vicky Richardson head of architecture and a dedicated architecture room was created at the institution as part of the David Chipperfield renovation in 2018.

Watch Atelier Bow-Wow's 2021 Royal Academy annual architecture lecture

Dezeen has teamed up with London's Royal Academy of Arts to broadcast this year's annual architecture lecture by Atelier Bow-Wow founders Yoshiharu Tsukamoto and Momoyo Kaijima.

In the lecture, which is titled Architectural Behaviorology, the Japanese architects discussed the architectural impact of the Olympic Games in Tokyo in 1964 and 2021 and how it has affected their own practice.

Atelier Bow-Wow worked with local people to help rebuild Momonoura village after it was devastated by the 2011 tsunami

The duo also explained their approach to architecture – how they try to create a continuous loop between research, teaching and their own design work – before discussing how they have increasingly shifted their attention to rural areas of Japan.

Projects featured in the talk include Atelier Bow-Wow's work over a number of years in Momonoura, a small fishing village that was devastated by the Tsunami in 2011.

Kaijima explained how they worked with the villagers to create new accommodation made from local materials to attract new residents and visitors to the area.

Atelier Bow-Wow's Tanada Terrace Office is a concept for a rural office

Tsukamoto presented projects including the studio's Tanada Terrace Office pavilion, a concept for a rural office that Atelier Bow-Wow built with Muji in an area of Japanese farmland dominated by terraced rice fields.

The concept intended to suggest a new typology of building that could provide a space for city workers to visit the countryside in order to encourage better integration and interaction between urban and rural communities.

Tsukamoto and Kaijima founded Atelier Bow-Wow in 1992 and have devoted their practice to investigating the material, social and economic conditions of architecture.

In 2019, the duo told Dezeen how the Tokyo 2020 Olympics had reduced the opportunities for smaller practices in the city.

Yoshiharu Tsukamoto and Momoyo Kaijima gave the 30th annual architecture lecture remotely

Tsukamoto and Kaijima's lecture, which they gave in July remotely due to the coronavirus pandemic, is the 30th annual architecture lecture organised by the Royal Academy of Arts. Dezeen has collaborated with the RA to make the talk available for people to watch for free for the first time.

Previous annual architecture lectures have been given by architects including Jean-Philippe Vassal, Grafton Architects, Balkrishna Vithaldas Doshi and Amateur Architecture Studio. The five most recent talks are available to watch on Dezeen here.
