...Late jam sessions, midnight until unconscious," advertised one nightclub. In Freetown's magnificent harbor, gaily painted paddle boats carrying names like God Never Hurries staged a regatta. To the beat of tom-toms, 150 bare-breasted girls snaked past Sierra Leone's Prime Minister, Sir Milton Margai, and his guests of honor: Britain's Duke of Kent, Liberia's William Tubman, Nigeria's Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, U.S. Special Representative Thurgood Marshall. At midnight some 15,000 celebrators jammed Freetown's stadium, sang the hymn Lead, Kindly Light, watched as spotlights dimmed...

In The Bath, an orange-colored woman sits by a potbellied male whose nude body has the color of death and whose face is covered with purple squiggles suggesting decay. Even Strombotne's self-portrait-an elongated figure with beard and dark glasses-seems tortured. The wrists are crossed as if waiting to be manacled; the stance...
