A vintage Malick Sidibé photograph in the artist’s hand-painted frame. Sidibé completed his studies in design and jewelry at the École des Artisans Soudanais (now the Institut National des Arts) in Bamako, Mali; this art and design foundation influenced his photo-documentary practice. I love how the girls are so relaxed and stylish in this portrait; how very soigné.
