Seydou Keita
The studio photographer Seydou Keita (1921-2001) began his career in 1945 in Bamako, French Sudan (now Mali). Although Keita was self-taught, he established a strong reputation and people traveled miles to visit his studio. There are incredible textiles documented in these and many more of his pictures, not to mention the people.

Little Sparta
The work of Ian Hamilton Finlay encompasses a variety of different media and discourses including poetry,
philosophy, history, gardening and landscape design. His activities have assumed
concrete form in cards, books, prints, inscribed stone or wood sculptures,
room installations and fully realised garden environments.
Little Sparta, set in the windswept Pentland Hills of southern Scotland
revisits the neoclassical tradition of the garden as a place
provocative of poetic, philosophic and even political thought.

Gulumbu of the shining stars
We all look at the same stars. I saw Gulumbu's work at the Quay Branley Museum in Paris. Then I saw it again last year when Annie brought prints down from Arnhem land, and I loved her stars. It's hard to find pictures of them. Gulumbu Yunupingu passed away this week. R.I.P.
