Haiti 1954 - Hard-to-Find Lois Mailou Jones Framed Art Print. Lois Jones (born November 3, 1905, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.—died June 9, 1998, Washington, D.C.) was an American painter and educator whose works reflect a command of widely varied styles, from traditional landscape to African-themed abstraction. In 1953 Jones married the artist Louis Vergniaud Pierre-Noël of Haiti, and she came to know many of that nation’s artists. From this time, she painted portraits and landscapes in brighter colors and with a more expressionistic style than she had previously employed. African influences reemerged in Jones’s art in the late 1960s and early ’70s, particularly after two extensive research tours of Africa. Her paintings became bold and abstract, and African design elements began to dominate. A retrospective of her work toured the United States in the 1980s and ’90s. 18 1/2 x 24.
