Description:
To the Day of the old man is dedicated ...
The collection consists of 'grannies' of different countries, times and social status. Here you can see our old women of Soviet and post-Soviet period, old English and French, American and Dutch old women.
Each of them has its character, its past connected with the history and mores of the country where she lived. «Jeannet de la Parmentier» is an old Frenchwoman, in the past - a model. She still likes to sit in a cafe in Montmartre with a glass of dry red wine and cigarette. Here her youth flew , she became acquainted with a lot of great artists, painters and musicians. She passionately loves poetry, Jeannet sees the world with the help of French poetry of Musset, Vigny, Apollinaire, Parni, Andre Chenier, Beranger, etc. She is still trying to look perfect, and despite the fact that age takes its relentless, she has incredible popularity and generated flirts, enchanting everybody with her charm.
«Rachel Oldbook». In spite of her old age she continues to engage in her favorite business. This fragile old lady is considered the best librarian of Oxford. Every day she serves many people , and she knows every book in the library. Of course, her age is evident: she could not bring more than 3 books at once, piles of magazines constantly hit her because of her awkwardness. But it is still better than to be at home alone.
All the dolls are made with great warmth and a proportion of irony.
They make you smile, and maybe, in an extraordinary time remember about our grandmothers, veterans and retirees. |
