African Trade Sign with Heads on Blue Ground
Ref: 4788
A good and signed example of African late 20th century popular or street art, a trade sign for a hair salon, the simplification and strong but lively design in bold attractive colours reminds me somewhat of Alex Katz’s portrait paintings. There are some bad later versions of this sort of thing but I think this one is a classic early example.
