The T. Catesby Jones Collection

T. Catesby Jones was a native of Petersburg, Virginia, an alumnus of the University of Virginia School of Law, and a trustee of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. A maritime lawyer by profession, he established himself by the early 1930s in New York as a noteworthy collector of modern French art. Jones accumulated works by such artists as Georges Braque, Jacques Lipchitz, André Masson, and Pablo Picasso, in depth and with an emphasis on paintings, drawings, prints, and artists’ books. The University of Virginia Art Musuem and the Virginia Musuem of Fine arts are the two institutions that received the bulk of his art collection as separate bequests in 1947. The 2009 exhibition is the first opportunity to present a comprehensive assessment of Jones’s legacy as a collector. The fully illustrated catalogue from that exhibition presents essays by the co-curators and new research by University of Virginia graduate students. (Pictured above is Pablo Picasso, The Frugal Repast, 1975.43.85.)
