Ghanaian Barbershop Painting on Board

$350.00

A hand-painted Ghanaian barbershop sign depicting popular hairstyles. Emerging in Ghana during the 1930s, before photographic and digitally printed style charts became widely accessible, these practical advertising boards were created by self-taught sign painters using readily available materials. Combining artistic resourcefulness with bold graphic design, each board served as both a working barbershop reference and a distinctive expression of local popular culture. Painted on wood. 25 ½ × 21 inches.
