Professor Lisa Aranson on J.A. Green (a pioonier artist photographer of the Niger Delta): some reflections and harmonisation

Abstract

Jonathan Adagogo Green’s photographic and artistic contributions working in his countryside, the Niger Delta of Nigeria is reviewed by Professor Lisa Aranson. Aranson in a public lecture presentation on the stand-point of art history thinks of J.A. Green as having operated in two worlds of which he is said to have initiated in the region. Aranson’s lecture in the University of Port Harcourt (Nigeria) as a guest lecturer from Oxford University Cambridge, on Green’s endeavours in this regard, is critically reflected upon and harmonized for a rounded historicisation.
