	Lois Mailou Jones Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Lois Mailou Jones (1905-1998) was a prominent African-American artist in the mid- to late-twentieth century.
		Jones hoped to be recognized by the public for her work, and textile design was a generally anonymous art form.
		Jones' activities were not limited to art: she also was the dancing teacher, basketball coach, and played the piano for Sunday church.

	Narratives: Ethiopian Boy, Loïs Mailou Jones
		Loïs Mailou Jones's interest in visually depicting African subjects and aesthetics in her work began in 1932 with the creation of the painting The Ascent of Ethiopia.
		Jones warmly received Locke's advice and, during the 1940s, began to increase her artistic focus on the portrayal of Americans of African descent.
		Although the identity of the sitter is unknown and may in fact be a portrait of a model rather than an Ethiopian citizen, Jones's dignified portrayal of the "African" youth reflects a positive and uplifting image of African people that was rare during the era of this work's creation.

	Loïs Mailou Jones - Bio
		Loïs Mailou Jones decided early in her career that she would become a recognized artist—no easy path for an African American girl born at the beginning of the twentieth century.
		Yet throughout her career, Jones was relentless in her pursuit of the best training and fullest exposure to the people and places that would infuse her art with style and meaning.
		In 1928 Jones formed and chaired the art department at the Palmer Memorial Institute in North Carolina, and two years later was recruited to teach at Howard University in Washington, D.C. Jones taught design and watercolor painting at Howard for the next forty-seven years.
