Malick Sidibé (1936 – 2016) - Fans de james Brown

Born in 1936 in Soloba, Mali. Died in Bamako in April 2016.
From Malick Sidibé's work, we first know his reportage photographs, taken at parties organized by young people passionate about music and freedom as the country prepared for independence. In 1962, he opened the 'Studio Malick' in Bamako. The studio portraits became the main part of his work. People came from everywhere to have their portrait taken by Bamako's eye...
Noticed at the first Rencontres de la Photographie in Bamako, he exhibited at the Fondation Cartier in Paris and then in major galleries and museums around the world. He received the Hasselblad Prize in 2003 and the Golden Lion in 2007.
