Nathan Jones, Artist
Creator of United States Postage Stamp of Dr. Charles R. Drew

Nathan Jones is a graduate of The University of Texas.

Painting With A Pencil. This extraordinary technique developed by Nathan Jones transforms fine gradiant tones of graphite into an appearance of liquid paint. However, to say that it is unique is merely an understatement.  Nathan Jones has created a style, and method never before realized in the history of art.  Endless hours of intensive experimentation were demanded to realize this technique that achieves the rich texture, and depth of value by use of black and white, and harmony through continuous values opposed to tone.  This unique feature of his style, Painting With A Pencil, enhances the deep emotional realism of his work.  His subject matter reflects the love and empathy he has for the youth, and aged of America.  His sensititvity is grounded in the sub-soil of human experience, and the very sustenance of our daily lives.  He has captured the most private moments in an intimate manner that records with fidelity, detail in our triumphs,  tragedies, our laughter, and bitter tears.  His work embodies the essence of experience previously lost from memory.

As an artist, Nathan Jones has been widely recognized for an outstanding degree of excellence in his work.  He recently was selected as one of the finalists in the American Artists Annual Competition in New York.  He was selected as one of the top twenty (20) artists from more than 5,000 other submitting artists.  He has also been chosen as one of the top thirteen (13) artists in America today sharing this coveted honor with Norman Rockwell.  The award was part of the Artists of America 74 Exhibit at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia.  Several academic honors have been directed toward this artist.  The University of Texas, from which he received his Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree, bestowed The First Outstanding Alumnus Award of the School of Fine Arts upon Nathan Jones. He is also the youngest, and the first in the field of fine arts to receive this award.  In addition to these honors, he was awarded a one year scholarship from the Columbus College of Art and Design in a national competition “to honor excellence, and promise in the field of fine art.”

His first museum show was at the Midland Museum of Fine Arts in January 1975, and as early as 1960, his works were exhibited at The Dallas Museum of Fine Arts.  Most recently Mr. Jones’ works have been involved in three separate shows, and exhibition in the New York area alone.  Circle Gallery and The Randall Gallery have exhibited his work during the winter and spring seasons.  In October of 1977 Mr. Jones had a private collectors’ exhibit in the New York area which was followed by a public opening.
Nathan Jones is truly a master artist; from his Paintings with a Pencil, exquisite watercolors, magnificent limited editions, hand colored original lithograhs, and his superbly created oil paintings, there is little in the field of fine art that this  artist of the people cannot create.  We welcome you to a collection of his master works.
