Arthur F. Jones, an art history professor, collector and also an artist, spent most of his career in places where major art museums were lacking. The works included in this exhibition are all from Jones' teaching collection and reflect his long-held interest in art made by individuals not formally trained, but who are nonetheless highly motivated to express themselves visually.

This exhibition brings together an array of late prints by Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010) a world-renowned artist. The exhibition focuses on prints the artist made in her eighties and nineties. Many of the works incorporate fabrics and embroidery, reflecting a lifelong interest in textiles connected to Bourgeois’s childhood years in her family’s business of tapestry restoration in Paris. Explorations of time, memory, and the body were of importance throughout her life and career, and are especially palpable in these late works.
The exhibition was organized by the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, Washington State University, in collaboration with the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center. Support is provided by the Friends of the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center Fund and the Horace Goldsmith Exhibition Fund. Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center
