“John Paul Jones’ place in history bears an uncanny resemblance to the trajectory of his own remarkable work.” ~ Dr. Susan Landauer

John Paul Jones (1924-1999) was a painter, sculptor, printmaker, and arts educator who first gained national recognition in the 1960s. Jones taught at UC Irvine from 1969-1990 and lived in Laguna Beach. This exhibition will be on display through January 23, 2011.
