Amos,
Legend Artist and Author
Author and Artist states, I
was summoned to be an author
and poet/ author, Jacqueline
Amos takes you on a Journey
the foundation of aesthetics;
Jacqueline’s arts exhibit a
historical consciousness
typical of southern
literature. Implementing in
her voice value religious or
moral interpretations of the
world, is loyal to family,
friends, and community, and
unavoidably confronts a
heritage of slavery and racial
struggle. Jacqueline
conclusions stands firm, she
states because of the irony
and tragedy of the Negro
southern history, I focus on
the dignity beyond death, the
aesthetics of a free mind,
under all odds of slavery, are
conscious of human
imperfection, social
injustice, and the existence
of evil in the world. At the
same time, I shall bring forth
truth that stood beyond the
savage abuse of man and his
silhouette illusions
implemented through the human
Gods.

| Your Personal Biography |
JACQUELINE AMOS (USA)
Our choice of Jacqueline Amos for taking part in the Guest Gallery of THE SECRETS OF PERFECTION is echoing to great victory of another black girl Miss World 2001 Agbani Darego.
Jacqueline Amos is very European artist for what we, Europeans, like her still more. I am sure she loves El Greco's dramatic qualities, late figure composition of Frans Hals, Rembrandt's lights. We can also compare her with German painter Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907) -- they both use soft forms and solve similar woman problems. Though Modersohn-Becker is nearer earth when Jacqueline goes equally easy as on ground as on high, Modersohn-Becker likes polychrome when Jacqueline Amos gives preference to monochrome painting. In picture Roots, she becomes more American.
Composition of Jacqueline Amos is masterful, light weight, sensitive and very beautiful. She is a maestro of composition. Her lucid, courageous and soft rhythms of dark and light reminds about rhythms of black jazz.
Jacqueline Amos is a poet. Poetics goes right through all her paintings, and naive Christian teaching about God and angels develops into lovely poetry. The titles of Jacqueline's pictures are a nice poetic continuation of artistic idea.
Thus in creation of Jacqueline Amos we can see an example of perfect synthesis of Negro, European, American arts and Christianity.
