A grand retrospective of the Malian photographer’s beautiful black and white portraits. 

In 1948, after teaching himself the basics, Keïta launched his own photography studio and began to photograph hundreds of Malians, from shopkeepers to politicians, capturing their characters in subtle but stunning black and white images shot in natural light. Until July 24, the Grand Palais presents 300 of his portraits in an exhibition that reveals the extent of his talent and depicts the many fascinating dimensions of Malian identity.
