It is in the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. in the United States. It is one of many in her body of work featuring African masks and is one of her best known paintings. DescriptionThe painting comprises five different African masks painted in the style of modernism. A red religious fetish is also in the foreground. The masks and fetish appear to float in the mass of a black painted canvas.[1] HistoryLes Fétiches was completed by Jones in 1938 in Paris.[2] When Jones was attending high school, she met Grace Ripley, an academic and costume designer. Jones worked with Ripley after school and on Saturdays, where Jones would become familiar with exotic costumes and masks. Jones credits her work with Ripley's masks as the inspiration for Les Fétiches and an ongoing interest in masks.[3]When Jones died in 1998, it was one of a small selection of works displayed in a memorial exhibit at the Corcoran Gallery of Art.[2] It was acquired by the Smithsonian with funding from Mrs. Norvin H. Green, Dr. R. Harlan, and Francis Musgrave. It was accessioned in the museum collection in 1990.[1] Insight about Les FétichesThe painting is considered a seminal work of Jones. Holland Cotter recognizes it as "an emblem of black American self-identity."[2] References1. ^1 {{cite web|title=Les Fétiches|url=http://americanart.si.edu/collections/search/artwork/?id=31947|website=Smithsonian American Art Museum|accessdate=10 February 2017}} {{authority control}}{{20C-painting-stub}}2. ^1 2 {{cite web|last1=Cotter|first1=Holland|title=Lois Mailou Jones, 92, Painter and Teacher|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1998/06/13/arts/lois-mailou-jones-92-painter-and-teacher.html|website=Arts|publisher=New York Times|accessdate=10 February 2017}} 3. ^{{cite journal|last1=Rowell|first1=Charles R.|title=An interview with Lois Mailou Jones|journal=Callaloo|volume=12|issue=2|page=357}} 2 : 1938 paintings|Paintings by Lois Mailou Jones |
