He introduced color processing to Ghana in the 1970s and uses color to evoke time, place, and mood. In this scene of modern life in Ghana in 1974, the muted palette suggests the passage of time and the dusty corner on which the young woman stands. wall description: --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES
