Lois Mailou Jones: A Life in Vibrant Color
July 12 – September 16, 2012
This exhibition provides an overview of the work of Loïs Mailou Jones (1905 – 1998), a pioneering and accomplished 20th-century artist, spanning her career from the late Harlem Renaissance to her contemporary synthesis of African, Caribbean, American and African American iconography. Despite formidable racial and gender prejudices, Jones achieved success as a designer and painter. Her influence as a teacher impacted several generations of Black artists in the United States and beyond.
