Loïs Mailou Jones: A Life in Vibrant Color
Examining the prolific career of Loïs Mailou Jones, spanning nearly 75 years, this exhibition presents approximately 70 works from private collections and from the artist's estate. The exhibition provides a survey the many styles of Jones' 75 years as a painter stretching from late Postimpressionism to a contemporary synthesis of African, Caribbean, American and African-American images, design and themes. Jones, as a noted educator, taught painting and related subjects at Howard University for 47 years. Among her illustrious students are David Driskell, Elizabeth Catlett and Robert Freeman.
