  • Constructing Artworks. Issues of Authorship and Articulation Around Seydou Keïta’S Photographs
    Nordic Journal of African Studies 17(1): 34–46 (2008) Constructing artworks. Issues of Authorship and Articulation around Seydou Keïta’s Photographs. ALESSANDRO JEDLOWSKI University of Naples, Italy ABSTRACT This essay focuses on Seydou Keïta’s work, and on the way in which this work has been received and conceptualized within both the African and the Western context. These photographs have a long history of geographical and cultural displacement that has deeply influenced their status, as well as the status of the people who engaged with them. The essay follows the development of this history, dealing with the processes of construction of Seydou Keïta as an author and of his photographs as international acclaimed pieces of art. Keywords: Seydou Keita, African photography, African Contemporary Art, Authorship INTRODUCTION This essay focuses on Seydou Keïta’s work, and on the way in which the work of this Malian photographer has been received and conceptualized within both the African and the Western context. Keïta’s photographs have a long history of geographical and cultural displacement that has deeply influenced their status, as well as the status of the people who engaged with them. From a photographic studio in Bamako in the 1950’s, these portraits moved to the houses of their purchasers. At least thirty years later, some negatives moved from Keïta’s personal archive to an exhibition in the Centre for African Art of New York. Attracted by the aesthetical beauty of these portraits, André Magnin bought some negatives for the biggest collection of Contemporary African Art, the Pigozzi Collection. Finally, only few years ago, the Pigozzi Collection donated some of the photographs it owns to the National Museum of Bamako.

  • Seydou Keïta CV
    Seydou Keïta Seydou Keïta, Untitled (Fleur De Paris), 1959. Gelatin Silver Print, 24 x 18 cm. Seydou Keïta (1921-2001) was a Malian studio photographer whose photographs eloquently portray Bamako society during its era of transition from a cosmopolitan French colony to an independent capital. Initially trained by his father to be a carpenter, Keïta’s career as a photographer was launched in 1935 by an uncle who gave him his first camera, a Kodak Brownie Flash, which he had purchased during a trip to Senegal. During his adolescence, Keïta mastered the technical challenges of shooting and printing; he later purchased a large-format camera. The larger format not only offered an exceptional degree of resolution, it also made it possible for Keïta to make high quality contact prints without the aid of an enlarger. In 1948, he opened his own studio in Bamako and quickly built up a successful business. Seydou Keïta, Untitled (Portrait), 1949. Gelatin Silver Print, 50 x 60 cm. Whether photographing single individuals, families or professional associations, Keïta balanced a strict sense of formality with a remarkable level of intimacy with his subjects. Like many professional photographers, he furnished his studio with numerous props, from backdrops and costumes, to Vespas and luxury cars. He would renew these props every few years, which later allowed him to establish a chronology for his work. Keïta commented on his studio practice, “It’s easy to take a photo, but what really made a difference was that I always knew how to find the right position, and I was never wrong.
