BARBARA JONES-HOGU (1938 - 2017)
Untitled.

Oil on cotton canvas, 1975. 610x610 mm; 24x24 inches. Signed in ink on canvas overlap, verso.

Provenance: the estate of the artist; private collection.

After co-founding the art collective AfriCOBRA and exhibiting with the group through 1973, Barbara Jones-Hogu began teaching art at Malcolm X College where she would teach for over thirty years. From 1975 on, she made art exploring more spiritual than political aspects of Black culture. This is a very rare oil painting by the artist, who worked mainly in print and drawing media.
