The current issue of Foam Magazine includes a portfolio of Samuel Fosso’s current work, “African Spirits“, wherein the chameleonic portraitist takes on the form of a variety of African despots and African-American icons (the image of Malcolm X looks like the original). Peeped a copy of the magazine at the newsstand; the images are printed in gorgeous black and white, although at $30 a pop, looking is all I can afford to do in these times.
