ERNIE BARNES (1938–2009) was an American artist. Barnes grew up in Durham, North Carolina, during the Jim Crow era. His mother encouraged him to read art books and listen to classical music. He was inspired to paint The Sugar Shack as a teenager, after sneaking into the Durham Armory dance hall. Barnes became the captain of his high school football team, and in college he majored in art on an athletic scholarship. He played pro football into the mid-1960s, before devoting himself full time to painting, in Los Angeles. A world record price of $15.3 million for Barnes artwork was set at Christie's, New York on May 12, 2022.

Ernie Barnes
Ernie Barnes was an American painter whose artwork reflected African-American lifestyles. As a skilled athlete in numerous sports during his early years of age, Barnes went on to play professional football, and after a five year career, he decided to retire from the sport and paint full-time. It is apparent in his work that he was searching for the perfect medium between racial and ethnic harmony, and many of his paintings reflect it. Barnes continues today to be one of the most widely collected African-American painters of his time.

Jones was raised in Boston by working-class parents who emphasized the importance of education and hard work. After graduating from Boston’s School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Jones began designing textiles for several New York firms. She left in 1928 to take a teaching position at Palmer Memorial Institute in North Carolina. At Palmer, Jones founded the art department, coached basketball, taught folk dancing, and played the piano for Sunday services. Two years later, she was recruited by Howard University in Washington, D.C., to join its art department.
