James Barnor: Ever Young
The first monograph of the legendary Ghanaian photographer's work
Product Description
Born in 1929 in Ghana, James Barnor has left an incisive mark on the history of photography. From the establishment of his Ever Young photo studio in Accra in the 1950s, to international assignments for the influential magazine Drum, he captured societies in transition: a burgeoning Ghana, marching toward independence, and Swinging Sixties London growing into a multicultural metropolis. Complete with new writing, an interview with the artist by Francis Hodgson and Margaret Busby, as well as his commentary on selected photos, this book - his first monograph - presents an overview of Barnor's photography from the late 1940s to his pioneering work in colour of the 1970s.
