Barbara Jones-Hogu
1938-2017
untitled, Nation Time
1968
color screenprint on gold paperboard
23 1/2 x 30 1/2 inches
signed in pencil
from an edition of fewer than 10 impressions printed by the artist

This is a very rare example of the artist's work and she did not commonly sign her prints in pencil.

Generally good condition; various soft creases and imperfections; professionally restored by Joel Oppenheimer, Chicago. Jones-Hogu and most of the artists associated with Africobra were much less concerned about viewing their work as a "limited edition fine art print"; rather, their interest was the message--circulating the image similarly to propaganda posters. Much in the same way as the murals (e.g., Wall of Respect), were created to share and educate through the message.
