- “Kellie Jones [is] a much sought after scholar, prolific writer, and extraordinary curator whose works I have admired for many years. She began her career in the mid-1980s, uncovering and recovering African and African American artists by organizing exhibitions, writing essays, and lecturing on some of the then lesser-known artists. I believe that she was instrumental in introducing to a larger and contemporary public the works of Black artists of the African Diaspora, including some of the most noted artists working today.”
Richard J. Powell, John Spencer Bassett Professor of Art & Art History at Duke University
- “Kellie Jones…has provided a plethora of razor-sharp insights and creative testimonials to the greater arts and scholarly community for years. As this important book makes amber clear, Jones’s astute observations and in-depth analyses of African American art are invaluable resources to contemporary studies and, arguably, equivalent to the notable essays of art history’s earlier, admired critics and chroniclers.”
Both these are taken from blurbs for her first book EyeMinded (2011, Duke UP)
