This one, Carter said, pointing to an impressionistic painting of a young girl, the artist painted upside down - as the topsy-turvy signature attests. A small metal statue of a horse stood on his grandfather's desk when Carter, now in his 50s, was a boy. And a wall across from a staircase features a colorful canvas depicting Shango, the Yoruban deity of fire, lightning and thunder.
