Author: Barnor, JamesThis fully illustrated retrospective traces the six-decade career of London-based Ghanaian photographer James Barnor, from London to Accra and back again. With a particular focus on the decades between 1950 and 1980, the included selections are drawn from Barnor’s extensive but little-seen archive. Barnor’s palpable connection to his subjects, whom he always captures with a keen and tender eye, imbues his work with a feeling of familiarity.Barnor has spent his career shifting seamlessly, not only between continents but also between genres, from studio portraiture to photojournalism to social documentation. This book includes a new conversation between the artist and Hans Ulrich Obrist, along with a series of commissioned texts by artists and curators.ISBN 9783960989752.
