EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Gabon, Equatorial Africa" transports us back to the year 1967, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of this African nation. Taken by renowned photographer Folco Quilici, this portrait captures the essence of Gabon's diverse population with its focus on a striking male subject. The image portrays an intimate close-up of a man's face and parts of his body. The subject stands proudly before us, his nude form serving as a testament to the unapologetic celebration of human beauty. His features reflect the distinct characteristics commonly associated with black Africans - strong facial structure, prominent cheekbones, and expressive eyes that seem to hold countless stories within them. Quilici's lens not only captures physical attributes but also delves deeper into anthropology and ethnography. Through this portrait, he offers viewers an opportunity to explore Gabonese culture and folklore through visual storytelling. It serves as a window into understanding the diversity within Gabon's negroid populations while shedding light on their unique customs and traditions. The timeless nature of this photograph allows us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic merit. Quilici masterfully combines technical skill with an empathetic eye for detail in order to create a thought-provoking piece that transcends time. As we gaze upon this print from Alinari, we are reminded of our shared humanity despite geographical boundaries or nationality. This powerful image invites contemplation about identity, heritage, and our interconnectedness as global citizens.
