The World of Lois Mailou Jones at Corcoran Gallery of Art.
Artist says...
After painting for over 60 years, I feel my work has come full circle. In the early days I designed masks for the Ted Shawn Dancers and designed fabrics for F.A. Foster and Schumacher in New York City. my present creative works involve the themes of masks and other icons, both African and Caribbean, and are symbolic of the great power, full of mysticism, which I discovered in Africa and Haiti. These present works (in acrylic and sometimes in mixed media on canvas) aim to alert the American public to the richness of the art and culture in Africa and Haiti.
