Kumasi Realism, 1951-2007: An African Modernism (Columbia/Hurst) Overview
Western approaches to African visual culture separate "traditional" and "modern" styles into distinct categories, and in many cases, only the former is seen as authentically African. For Atta Kwami, tradition is instead an active process of handing down, very much subject to the evolution of history. In this book, Kwami explores a burgeoning body of West African art that thrills in the synthesis of past and present influences. Kumasi realism draws on photography, advertising, graphic design, and European technique, as well as the traditional movements of Ghanaian history and culture.
