LOIS MAILOU JONES AMERICAN OIL PAINTING
Est: $100 - $150
Lois Mailou Jones, American, 1905 to 1998, oil painting on canvas mounted on board depicting a portrait of a seated woman with flowers. Signed lower right. Framed. Lois Mailou Jones was an American artist and educator, known for African figure genre, landscape, still life and mask painting. She graduated from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and received a graduate degree in design from the Design Art School of Boston before deciding to pursue a BA in art education from Howard University, graduating in 1945. By this point, she transitioned to painting instead of design. She traveled extensively, and while living in Paris in the 1930s and 1940s, she was well known as an artist. In the 1950s, she was a guest professor in Port au Prince, Haiti, and later helped Howard University research and document contemporary Haitian art. In the late 1960s, she traveled to 11 African countries and interviewed contemporary African artists. Her extensive travels influenced her work, and it was notable that she defied norms that were expected of mid century African American painters and painted a wide variety of subjects. In the 1990s, well into her 80s, she continued to produce work. Her work is held in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the National Portrait Gallery, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and the National Palace in Haiti.
