Loïs Mailou Jones


 "Jones went to Africa for the first time in 1970, at age sixty-five, but the forms, rhythmic cadences, and vibrant color she associated with the ceremonies of Africa had infused her art since her student years. These influences are apparent in Self Portrait, in which Jones links her identity with traditional African sculpture." -- National Portrait Gallery


Perhaps the most famous of Jones' work is Les Fétiches, Paris '38.
