Expressionist Painting of an African Mother with Cotton, "Industrious Woman I"

Depicting the hardworking nature of African mothers, Ghanaian artist Nii Addo paints this composition in an expressionist style. Carrying her child slung across her back, an African mother is framed against the yellow glow of the sun and the purple hue of the African landscape. Cotton fabric printed with traditional African motifs accentuates this painting.
