BARBARA JONES-HOGU (1938 - 2017) America. Color screenprint on cream wove paper, 1969. 356x267 mm; 14x10½ inches, full margins. Edition of 200. Signed, titled, dated and inscribed "200 imp." in pencil, lower margin. Published by the Institute of Design, Chicago. Provenance: private collection, New York; acquired from Swann Galleries, October 8,. 2019, private collection. This small but very scarce screenprint by Barbara Jones-Hogu was published in a portfolio of prints by graduate students at the Institute of Design, Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, where Jones-Hogu received her Master of Science in Visual Design in 1970. This screenprint precedes her brighter colored work with Afri-COBRA. Her ITT thesis exhibition included similar 1969 screenprints with this powerful imagery of the white stars of the US flag as robed Klu Klux Klan members, including Land Where My Father Died and While Some Are Trying to Get Whiter. These striking prints are illustrated in Barbara Jones: Resist, Relate, Unite, her 2018 De Paul Art Museum retrospective catalogue. Widholm pp. 60, 61 and 76.
