About the Item

Silver Sprinters - Olympia 1974 Serigraph Edition: 200 Signed by the Artist Size: 100 x 64 cm (25 x 40 inches) COA provided John Paul Jones (November 18, 1924 – 1999) was an American painter and printmaker, described as "one of America's foremost printmakers" in the 1950s and '60s. John Paul Jones, draftsman, painter, printmaker, sculptor, and teacher, was born in Indianola, Iowa in 1924. He enrolled as a pre-engineering major at Simpson College in Indianola in 1943, but his studies were interrupted by World War II. After serving in the military, he began his art training at the University of Iowa in 1946. Jones studied under Lester Longman, James Lechay, Humbert Albrizio, and Stuart Edie, but perhaps Mauricio Lasansky's printmaking workshop affected his art the most. 1951 was a pivotal year for Jones. He received his M.F.A. degree in printmaking, was awarded the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation scholarship for graphics, given a purchase prize from the Brooklyn Museum National Print Exhibition, and joined the faculty of the University of Oklahoma as Instructor in Art. He then taught briefly at the University of Iowa before his appointment in 1953 as Assistant Professor of Art at the University of California at Los Angeles. In 1970, Jones relocated to the Irvine campus of the University of California where he was Professor of Prints and Drawings until 1982. He has had numerous solo exhibitions and an enumeration of his group shows would equal in length a listing of his awards and prizes. He received the Creative Printmaking Award from the Guggenheim Foundation in 1960, which afforded him travel in Europe. His first retrospective was held at the Brooklyn Museum in 1963, and the second followed in 1965 at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. A brief listing of the repositories of Jones' work include the New York Museum of Modem Art, Brooklyn Museum, Library of Congress, National Art Gallery, Bibliotheque Nationale, Victoria and Albert Museum, Los Angeles Museum of Art, Dallas Museum of Art, and the Joslyn Art Museum.
