Malian Portrait Photography (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615510941)

The influence of Malian photographers Malick Sidib? and Seydou Ke?ta has been widespread since their emergence on the international scene in the 1990s. Their intimate black and white photos integrate pattern, decoration, portraiture, and iconography in entirely new ways, bespeaking a new post-colonial African identity. This catalogue features an essay and artist biographies that survey the major practitioners and innovators in Mali. Designed by artist Fran?ois Deschamps, the book accompanies an exhibition of vintage and recent prints by Ke?ta and Sidib?, as well as Hamidou Ma?ga, Abdourahmane Sakaly, and Tijani ?d?g?n Sitou, curated by Daniel Leers at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art.
