This Beautiful Lois M Jones oil depicts a Haitian village circa 1949Painting is in good condition The size is 12in X 9inch Signed Lower rightBIO:Jones was reared in Boston by middle-class parents who nurtured her precocious talent and ambition. She studied art at Boston High School of Practical Arts, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Designers Art School of Boston. Her family spent summers on Martha's Vineyard , where she painted watercolour sketches and enjoyed the encouragement of artists who summered there. She moved to Sedalia, North Carolina , to establish an art department at the Palmer Memorial Institute, a black preparatory school. Within two years, her students' exhibitions attracted the attention of people at Howard University in Washington, D.C.; she joined Howard's faculty in 1930.In the early 1930s Jones's art reflected the influences of African traditions. She designed African-style masks and in 1938 painted Les Fétiches , which depicts masks in five distinct, ethnic styles. During a sabbatical year in Paris in 1937-38 to study painting at the Académie Julian, she produced landscapes and figure studies that she would use as source material for a dozen years. She painted out-of-doors, in the French tradition, rendering pastoral landscapes and street scenes, and she contributed to Paris exhibitions. read more
