Présentation de l'éditeur :
Born in 1936 at Soloba, in the Yanfolila Cercle, Mali, Malik Sidibé is now an internationally recognized artist and is considered the greatest African photographer.
In1962, just after Mali proclaimed its independence, Sidibé opened his studio in Bamako, devoting himself to reportage and documentary photography. His famous black-and-white images portray youth culture and dance evenings in the Malian capital. During the ‘70s he turned to highly studied studio portraits which appeared, nonetheless, extremely spontaneous and fresh. Since 1999, his work has been marked by a particularly poetic approach to portraying people from behind, managing to convey their character despite such an unusual perspective.
In 2003, he received the Hasselblad Foundation prize for photography and in 2007, a Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the 52nd Venice Biennale. In 2008, he was awarded an Infinity Award.
This monograph gathers together a large group of archive images which are completely unknown (especially the Malian parties of the ‘60s and ‘70s and the studio portraits). Divided into three chapters, the book also features, for the first time, impressive color photographs showing scenes of village life, hunting, and rituals.

Faces, figures and anthropized landscapes render the portrait
of an entire country, Malick Sidibé's Mali, highlighting the
ethical value of the human identity, from the individual to his
relationship with the social group. The studio portraits,
characterised by the meticulousness of the poses and the shots
that render the lively atmosphere of the parties in Bamako's
clubs, all strictly in black and white, stand alongside the
colour photographs on life in the village of Soloba, in the
constant dialogue between the solid construction of a portrait
and the staging of a kind of "plural family album". Il ritratto
del Mali is the second volume in the Sinetica Landscape series
edited by Sabrina Zannier. A project on international
contemporary photography, focusing on the theme of travel,
which every year presents the gaze of a great photographer on
his or her own country, from Africa to Europe, from Asia to
the Middle East.
