Stunning book presenting historic photographs from an important collection at the Ethnography Museum of Saint Petersburg. The images show young and old women dressed in their traditional folk costumes from various regions of Russia. A remarkable photographic journey back in time to an era when these elaborate costume were still treasured and worn by what were considered to be simple peasant women. The photographs are part of a much larger ethnographic collection created by Natalia Chabelskaya and continued by her two daughters during an era when interest in peasant culture was high and the authentic ways of life were quickly fading. This book presents a number of these stunning photographs and will serve as a welcome reference to anyone interested in Russian costume, culture, and history.
Adolescentes, jeunes femmes ou grands-mères, elles posent devant l'objectif d'un photographe anonyme, le regard fixé au loin, graves et dignes sans jamais paraître empruntées. Ces images hors du temps, baignées par la magie d'un certain exotisme et par la beauté de ces femmes vêtues comme des princesses, sont de précieux témoignages sur la Russie des tsars. Ces portraits de femmes russes font partie de l'exceptionnelle collection Chabelskaya - initiée par une mère, Natalia Chabelskaya, puis continuée par ses deux filles -, photographies inédites du Musée d'ethnographie de la Russie à Saint-Pétersbourg. Regard sur la fin d'une époque, cette collection est également l'oeuvre d'un grand photographe qui a su donner à chaque femme son espace de liberté dans une pose simple et totalement assumée, imaginant une mise en scène moderne, reprise, des années plus tard, par un August Sander, voire un Irving Penn qui a fait défiler des mondes dans son studio portatif. Les photographies de la collection Chabelskaya ont été présentées pour la première fois en 2009 lors de l'exposition " Le costume populaire russe " à la Fondation Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent à Paris.
