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.
Hardcover photography book containing a 10" x 8" Silver Gelatin print of James Barnor's work Ever Young Studio. Both the book and print are signed by the artist.
Due to the organic nature of fibre based paper the art work may not appear fully flattened; this is considered normal with this type of print and does not constitute a fault as such.
