  • Jean Verity Jones (5 July 1927 – 28 April 2012) was an English painter who spent the majority of her life living in Oxford, Devon and Primrose Hill. She produced over 400 artworks, including a variety of landscapes, portraits, self-portraits and still lifes, which engage varyingly with the legacies of Expressionism and Post-Impressionism. Her paintings are particularly noted for their "poetic" and "lyrical" qualities, providing a "diary" of her geographical, emotional and psychological development. Throughout her life, Jones suffered from mental illnesses including bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety. Her difficulties with mental health severely limited the progression of her artistic career, and she was twice sectioned – with the GP on the occasion of her second sectioning describing her as "a woman who wears man's clothes". Nonetheless, her talents were recognised throughout her lifetime. Jones had a solo exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum in 1980, as well as notable reviews from David Carritt and K.J. Garlick. The British novelist and philosopher Iris Murdoch even claimed that Jones would one day be 'as famous as Van Gogh'. (en)
