PHOTOGRAPHER<\/h3>\n

(Grand Bassam - Ivory Coast)<\/p>\n

born in 1908 (Ghana) -\u00a0died\u00a0in\u00a01994 (Grand Bassam -Ivory Coast)<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Daniel Attoumou Amicchia is\u00a0active in Grand Bassam from 1948 to 1970.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amicchia is initiated by his older brother to photography in the 1920s.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 1948, he moved to Grand-Bassam, keeping close ties with the Anglophone community from Ghana, attached to the local English syndicate.<\/p>\n

These English-speaking Ghanaians still keep facing the camera a very straight posture, hands on knees, feet flat on the ground, with\u00a0their loincloth motifs which have special meaning (belonging to a family, a clan, a corporation) as seen\u00a0in Amicchia photographs.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

He enjoys photography as a 'street\u00a0photographer'\u00a0and photographs mostly family and various corporations of the Grand-Bassam society in natural light portraits.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

After cancer, Daniel Attoumo Amicchia goes out of photography business. He died in Grand-Bassam at the age of 86.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

His family threw all his photographs and equipment to the sea. A few prints survived by a collector, his former partner, Joseph Ernest Kouao, and other rare photographs preserved in family albums.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

We discover his work with the\u00a0Revue Noire magazine\u00a0RN02 on Abidjan (September 1991) with no more informations about his life and his work.<\/p>\n
