EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of traditional Selkup storehouses in 1920, a remarkable piece of anthropological and architectural history. Created by A. G. Vargin, this black and white image showcases the unique stilt houses that were typical of the indigenous Selkup people in Siberia.
The intricate details of these wooden structures are beautifully depicted through Vargin's use of cardboard pencil watercolour, highlighting the craftsmanship and heritage artistry involved in their construction. Each house on stilts is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Selkups, who utilized timber and lumber to create functional yet aesthetically pleasing dwellings.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from a bygone era, we are transported back to a time when traditional ways of life thrived in harmony with nature. The meeting of frontiers between modernity and tradition is evident in these log cabins, which stand as symbols of resilience against changing times.
Located in the V. I. Surikov Museum of Art in Krasnoiarsk, this piece serves as a valuable contribution to ethnography and ethnology studies. It offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Selkup people, shedding light on their customs and way of life.
Overall, A.G. Vargin's Storehouses, Selkups is not just an artwork but also a window into a world that once was – reminding us to cherish our roots and preserve our traditions for future generations to come.
