 Examining the prolific career of Loïs Mailou Jones, spanning nearly 75 years, this exhibition presents approximately 70 works from private collections and from the artist's estate.

The exhibition provides a survey the many styles of Jones' 75 years as a painter stretching from late Postimpressionism to a contemporary synthesis of African, Caribbean, American and African-American images, design and themes. Jones, as a noted educator, taught painting and related subjects at Howard University for 47 years. Among her illustrious students are David Driskell, Elizabeth Catlett and Robert Freeman.
