James Barnor, Ever Young Studio, 1954/2021

Born in 1929 in Accra, James Barnor is considered a pioneer of Ghanaian photography. This limited edition features a hardcover photography book containing a print of Barnor's work Ever Young Studio. Taken in 1954, this photograph captures the artist's keen interest in West African women’s hairstyles and formal portraiture traditions – beautifully lit, the perfectly poised model was photographed in the Barnor's popular portrait studio in Jamestown, Accra.

The James Barnor: Ever Young monograph features 200 images by the artist from the 1940s - 1970s, texts by Kobena Mercer and Renée Mussai, plus an interview with Barnor by Margaret Busby OBE and Francis Hodgson.

Both the book and print are signed by the artist.
