This retrospective features more than 70 paintings, textiles, and sketches from the pioneering African American artist's 75-year career. Jones was inspired by the social struggles that she witnessed in the U.S. as well as by her travels, from Martha's Vineyard and France to Haiti. A Howard University professor, Jones imbued her work with the brilliant colors, patterns and African motifs that came to distinguish her art.
