Mission
“It is this embracing love, charged with tenderly revealing power,  that makes Lois Mailou Jones a painter of such exceptional and evocative quality. It gives her the humanistic depths so evident in her freedom from individualistic pretentions, her responsive mastery of colour, her controlled feeling for warmth and symbolism in design, her lively expression of light--and no one can paint the magic of light unless, in Sir Kenneth Clark’s perceptive phrase, it is an ‘expression of love’.”
— Cédric Dover, Galerie internationale, February 1961
