Exuberant portraits of Malians by Malick Sidibé.
Layers of patterns, textiles and people—so beautiful!

Malick Sidibé documented an important period of West African history
with great commitment, enthusiasm, and insight, focusing on Malian youth
in the 1950s and 60s. His portraits and documentary photography captured the
unique atmosphere and vitality of an African capital in a period of great euphoria.
