動物の楽園
「ストーリーテリング」と題された2010年を代表する一枚。
『千一夜物語』を題材としている。
絡み合うアラベスク文様が、終わりなき夢幻世界へと誘う。アニーが下敷きとしたのは、鳥獣佳話、第146話。
語られるのは、楽園で繰り広げられる動物たちのドタバタ模様。
En s’inspirant de Les Mille et Une Nuits, « La Charmante aux Animaux» représente l’année 2010 dont le thème est «Conte et raconte». Sur le carré, les arabesques s’entrelacent sans fin et nous guident dans un monde fantastique.
Annie se réfère au 146em épisode des «Fables animalières», une farce des animaux vivant dans une île paradisiaque.
Inspired by The One Thousand and One Nights, " La Charmante aux Animaux " represents the year 2010, which theme is "Storytelling". On the square, the endless arabesques intertwine and guide us into a fantastic world.

シャフリヤール王に弾き語る美しきシェへラザード。 La belle Shéhérazade racontant ses récits au roi Shahryar. The beautiful Scheherazade tells her stories to King Shahryar. |
図案のもとには、10世紀に北アフリカ一帯で興ったイスラム帝国ファティーマ王朝に由来する木彫りの扉。
Annie puise aussi son inspiration dans des portes en bois de la dynastie Fatimide, un vaste empire islamique, qui régna au Xe siècle en Afrique du Nord.
Annie also draws inspiration from wooden doors of the Fatimid dynasty, a vast Islamic empire, which reigned in

四隅に配されたドアノッカーは、それぞれがペルシャ、シリア、エジプト、マグレブを象徴し、オリエント世界への入り口を暗示する。あるいは、私たちを物語空間へ誘う扉かもしれない。
Des heurtoirs d'angles symbolisent respectivement les Perse, Syrie, Egypte et
The door Knockers of the angles symbolize respectively Persia, Syria, Egypt and North Africa and suggest the entrance to the Eastern world. Or, perhaps the doors opened to the narrative space…?

アニーのオリエンタリスムは徹底している。
動物たちを側面から捉え平面的に描くその手法は、古代オリエントに通ずるもの。唯一、その描画法則から解き放たれているのが人間であり、サルに扮したアニーだ。
L'orientalisme d'Annie ne se limite pas au superficiel, mais pénètre en profondeur. Par example, la façon de figurer des animaux en plan, de profil, rappelle celle de l'art oriental. Seulement, les hommes, sans oublier un singe, double d'Annie, s'échappent à cette règle.
Annie’s orientalism is not limited to the superficial. For example, how to figure out the animals reminds the plane and lateral view of the oriental art. Only the men and a monkey, Annie's alter ego, are exempt from this rule.

さあ、サルはどこに?
Mais, où se trouve-t-il?
But where is the monkey?
シェへラザードの足元に!物語に聞き入るように、うずくまっている。
手元に広げているのは、おそらく『千一夜物語』…
Voilà, aux pieds de Shéhérazade ! Accroupi, un livre ouvert dans les mains, sans doute Les Mille et Une Nuits, il semble écouter ses contes...
Here she is, at the foot of Scheherazade! Crouching, an opened book in her hands, probably One Thousand and One Nights, she seems to listen to the stories ...
You offer us amazing insight into the derivation of this most magical design by Annie Faivre .
ReplyDeleteAnd the colourway , only one word:- gorgeous.
I bought a little gavroche in this design, and was so happy to look at the details . Many of these fabulous paired animals are exactly the same as those on my Legende de L'Arbre.
But no monkey on that one ....
Thank you so much for your comment! I was also very happy to look at each detail. Love rich details of Annie Faivre's design!
ReplyDeleteAnd your famous Légendes de l'arbre...
Since you showed us your wonderful Légendes on SOTD, your colorway is on my radar. I saw already many other colorways, but yours is the best! Hope to see it more often!
What a treat your new blog is!
ReplyDeleteI have a CaA pocket square in turquoiseand shall wear it today. However, first I shall look at the whole design with fresh eyes and identify all the detail you have extracted and explained so masterfully. I had not realized this was AF, so shall be on the hunt for its little monkey!
Thank you for your kind comment!
ReplyDeleteHow can I forget your beautiful turquoise CaA! You were so glorious on it! The pocket square design is exactly the same as 90? What a miniature world!
