(Atlanta/Chicago/North Carolina, 1913-1996) The Fisherman, signed lower right "Fred Jones", watercolor on paper, 4-1/2 x 16-1/2 in.; wooden frame, 13 x 25-1/4 in. Notes: As a student at Clark College in Atlanta, Jones worked part time cleaning the corporate offices of Coca-Cola. When the chairman's secretary found a sketch book he had left behind she showed it to her boss who was equally impressed. Jones was then transferred to the Chicago plant so that he could attend the Art Institute of Chicago at the company's expense. He is also known for his murals in the Hyde Park area of Chicago.
