\nMama Casset is not content to be the fashionable Dakar studio and its bourgeoisie, he produced a work which he himself describes as artistic whose second wife is his muse and the main model. The very personal aesthetic established by Mama Casset will school: rare set pieces, staged very structured characters, frequent use of the diagonal, highlighting the expression of body position hands, eyes, place given to the costume, tight frame.\u00a0Look at a picture of Mama Casset is to feel heavy perfumes - the tchoura\u00efs -, the back laughter or sadness, fortitude or weakness, sensuality.
\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>
\nBecame blind, he ceases all activity in the 1980s few years later, his studio was completely destroyed by fire. His work is now out of oblivion.
