Born in Boston in 1905 and trained at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Loïs Mailou Jones began her career at a time when racial prejudices and gender discrimination were strong in American culture. This exhibition surveys the vast sweep of Jones’s seventy-five years as a painter stretching from late Post-Impressionism to a contemporary mixture of African, Caribbean, American and African-American iconography, design and thematic elements. She was a noted educator, having taught painting and related subjects at Howard University for 47 years. Among her illustrious students are David Driskell, Elizabeth Catlett and Robert Freeman. Jones received recognition in her lifetime through exhibitions and representation in important museum collections and her work remains a substantial and remarkable contribution to the world of American art.
Developed by the Mint Museum of Art and the Loïs Mailou Jones Pierre-Noël Trust, this exhibition of 64 works from public private collections as well from the artist’s estate marks the first time the estate has released many of its major holdings for public presentation. A full-color catalogue in conjunction with the exhibition includes essays by Dr. Edmund Gaither, director of the National Center of Afro-American Artists, Boston; Dr. Lowery Stokes Sims, director of the Museum of Art and Design, NYC; Dr. Cheryl Finely, associate professor of Art History, Cornell University; and an interview Dr. David Driskell conducted by the curator.
