Frederick D Jones The Girl in the Yellow Dress
Est: $3,000 - $4,000
Frederick D. Jones, Jr. (1913-1996) The Girl in the Yellow Dress, c. 1950 oil on board signed 30 x 8 inches framed A modernist figure painter, Fred Jones’ work often revealed the influence of Eldzier Cortor, a mentor of his at the Art Institute of Chicago. Jones’s canvasses often held tall, languid African American women in other-wordly surroundings. Indeed, Jones’s work is a remarkable synthesis of elements and influences that he was exposed to throughout his life, as well as an innate sense of design and sensitivity to his subjects. His indelible style was shaped first at Morehouse and Spelman Colleges and Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta, Georgia. During this time, Hale Woodruff took him under his wing, along with fellow artist Wilmer Jennings. Jones was one of the lucky students who was given to opportunity to assist him with murals that were later installed at Talledega University. Jones went on to study at the Art Institute of Chicago, with the financial help of a generous patron, Harrison Jones, an executive at Coca Cola. He studied painting with Louis Ritman, an American Impressionist with Paris connections. Jones’s work was featured in the Chicago and Vicinity Exhibitions from 1946-1951. He focused on the technical aspects of color, applying it to his art - the telling of the story of Black struggle. In an interview, Jones was quoted as saying that Cortor “taught him that he could make the struggle beautiful.” Jones was also involved with the South Side Community Art Center, serving as assistant director in 1947 - Rex Goreleigh was the director.
