Produced in conjunction with the Museum's 2010 exhibition entitled Joe Jones: Painter of the American Scene, this video explores the life of the extraordinary artist Joe Jones and his connections to St. Louis of the 1920s and '30s. The video features interviews with the artist's children, insights from exhibition curator Andrew Walker, and comments on Jones's work by art historians. Archival photos of St. Louis locations that played a role in the early work of the artist, as well as historic pictures of Jones and his family and friends make the film visually compelling. This film received a mid-America Emmy for directing in October 2011.
