Sidibe's work always stood apart in my mind as truly exception. I mean of all the photographers in the world today and of yesterday his photos has captured the innate possibilities of an African Culture looking towards the future with promised and western influence.His work from the 1950's and the 1960's shows a decade of great photos. Sidibe chronicled the carefree youth culture at dance clubs, parties, sporting events and on the banks of the Niger River. Sidibe's photographs contains the innocence of people in their finest--presenting a facade of dreams to the public. Gallery 51 has a continuing roster of photos from this great photographer. Enjoy!
