Seydou Keïta
by Seydou Keita & André Magnin & Youssouf Tata Cissé
Description
"The thousands of portraits that Keïta took form an outstanding record of Malian society between the end of the Forties and the early Sixties. His photographs have become - in addition to their sociological value - works of art, free from tricks, eccentricity, or any attempt at illusion. As such they have acquired an objective character and a timeless dimension. Through his quest for accuracy, Seydou Keïta seems intuitively to have reinvented the art of the portrait. At a time of interest in other cultures, this work of rare beauty takes a deserved place in the world history of photgraphy.--Book jacket.
