West African Photographer
A self-taught photographer, he opened a studio in 1948 and specialized in portraiture.
His clients were drawn by the quality of his photos and his great sense of aesthetics. Many were young men, dressed in European style clothing. Some customers brought in items they wanted to be photographed with but Keita also had a choice of European clothing and accessories - watches, pens, radios, scooter, etc. - which he put at their disposal in his studio. The women came in flowing robes often covering their legs and their throats, only beginning to wear Western outfits in the late 60s. Beautiful shots of West African life.

I taught myself how to make a hat today!
It’s not perfect, cause I kept making adjustments as I went, but now I have a good idea of how hat construction goes, so the next one will be even simpler.
I am going to make so many hats, you guys. This one will most likely be the most “normal” looking, I want to get weird.

ILLEGAL GALLERY PRESENTS: OUTSIDER ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: GEORGE WIDENER
“Born in Ohio in 1962, George Widener has been hailed by New York Times critic Roberta Smith as a significant artistic discovery. A self-taught artist and a calendar savant, Widener creates mixed-media works on paper that give aesthetic, visible form to complex calculations based on dates and historical events—the sinking of the Titanic is one of his favorites. The artist often uses found paper, or a support composed of layers of tea-stained paper napkins, to apply ink and paint upon. His drawings feature simple palettes, sophisticated patterning, and bold compositions of dates and imagery, which transcend centuries of time and the history of art. Widener sometimes likens himself to a “time traveler.”…”

ILLEGAL GALLERY PRESENTS: OUTSIDER ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: MARTÍN RAMÍREZ
“Martín Ramírez (1895–1963) created nearly 300 drawings of remarkable visual clarity and expressive power within the confines of DeWitt State Hospital in northern California, where he resided the last 15 years of his life. Ramírez has been codified primarily as a “schizophrenic artist”; this project goes beyond the boundaries of Ramirez’s diagnosis of mental illness and considers the artistic quality and merit of his artwork. In this way, Ramirez’s works are understood—and appreciated—for the complex, multilayered drawings that they are. “Martin Ramirez,” the first major retrospective of the self-taught master in more than 20 years, features approximately 97 works on paper and is accompanied by a full-color catalog.”
