Remembering ’60s Model And Vogue Cover Star Maudie James

1 week ago | vogue.co.uk | Rosalind Jana

With her full lips, blue eyes and high, wide cheeks, Maudie James had a face that shifted, depending on the angle and framing, between the pastoral and the icily sophisticated. When she smiled or leapt around, she looked younger and more approachable. When her eyes hovered elsewhere, feigning ignorance of the camera, the effect was ethereal.

Sep 11, 2024 | artreview.com | Rosalind Jana

The late artist evoked both freedom and confinement in her surreal prostheses and bodily machinesSometime during the late 1960s or early 1970s, the German artist Rebecca Horn received a bag of white feathers from a friend. ‘It took me a year to pluck up the courage to put my hand inside and touch them, owing to a bad childhood experience with a headless chicken,’ she recalled in a 1993 interview with art historian Germano Celant.
Window shopping: behind the curtain of art and retail

Aug 1, 2024 | plastermagazine.com | Rosalind Jana

8 min read There is a shop on a road near where I live that looks like it’s been closed for years, even when the front door is open. It belongs to a tailor.

The Devonshires – first earls and later dukes – do not reside in Devon. Past and present property includes Bolton Abbey in North Yorkshire, and Chiswick House and Burlington House in London .
Why the Artworld Loves the Fashion Industry

Jun 25, 2024 | artreview.com | Rosalind Jana

Fashion gives art money, audience and cool. Art returns intellectual legitimacy. What is there to lose? Sometimes the formula for success is simple: a visually arresting woman doing a strange thing. Snakes writhe around a model dressed head-to-armadillo-toe in Alexander McQueen. Victoria Beckham’s legs emerge akimbo from a giant Marc Jacobs shopping bag. A girl, shot by the now much-underrated Elaine Constantine, screams upside down on a swing in a red jumper.
