Loïs Mailou Jones began her career as a textile designer in Boston in the 1920’s, but became involved in the fine arts after studying at Boston’s School of the Museum of Fine Arts and eventually, Howard University. In 1937, Jones left for Paris to study painting at The Académie Julian, in which she introduced African motifs into her work, and found France to be much more “racially tolerant” than America at the time.
