Malick Sidibé: La Vie en Rose

Malick Sidibé: La Vie en Rose
- Used Book in Good Condition
Acclaimed for his black-and-white photographs of 1960s youth culture in Bamako, Mali, Malick SidibÃ© (born 1936) is today the African continent's best-known photographer. SidibÃ© was recently awarded the Venice Biennale Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement (2007)--the first time this award was presented to a photographer--and the Infinity Award for Lifetime Achievement (2008), in recognition of his contribution to documentary photography and the historical record. Malick SidibÃ©: La Vie en Rose provides a survey of this work, focusing primarily on SidibÃ©'s images of Mali's buzzing youth culture and family life in Bamako in the 1960s and 70s. Laura Serani's foreword contextualizes SidibÃ©'s work in a wider survey of African photography; the book also includes an interview with the photographer by Laura Incardona and an appendix with SidibÃ©'s famous "chemises" (photographic dossiers), which documents his working methods.
