, p. 127.
This vibrantly colored canvas is an impressive example of the artist’s extensive work in Haiti. Jones
took her first trip to Haiti in the summer of 1954 with the invitation of President Paul E. Magliore
for his portrait commission. She made many subsequent annual trips with her Haitian husband
Pierre-Noël. She continued to have painting trips and exhibitions there after his death in 1982 and
through the 1990s. Jones pp. 128-29.
