Peter Jones, Professor Emeritus, from Louisiana Tech University is currently showing a retrospective of landscapes and still lifes in Bry Gallery through November 22nd.
“The Art Program at ULM is honored and excited about this month's exhibition by Peter Jones,” said Dr. Joni Noble, ULM Art Program Coordinator. “Professor Jones was a long-time Professor of Art at Louisiana Tech. His landscapes and still-lifes have won awards on both the National and International level. Most are in vintage European frames, and many will be offered for sale.”
Jones is best known for his landscapes and still-life paintings. He grew up in the artists' community of Woodstock, New York, where his mother painted portraits and his father painted mural commissions for Federal Government projects during the Depression. He received his MFA from the University of Iowa in 1969 and turned to New Realism in the early 70s during his first teaching experience at Sullins College.
There will also be a gallery talk with the internationally acclaimed painter on Wednesday, November 8th at 2:00pm in Sandel 238. A reception will follow in Bry Gallery. Admission is free and the event is open to the public.
