The Paul R. Jones Museum presents our fall exhibition Jerry Siegel: Uncommon Lens. Derived from Siegel’s signature artist portraits, the exhibition combines works from the permanent collection alongside each artist’s “behind-the-scenes” portrait. Siegel will present a free public lecture at the museum as part of the Paul R. Jones Speaker Series on September 17th at 4 pm.

About the Artist

Jerry Siegel was born and raised in Selma, AL, and graduated from the Art Institute of Atlanta. A selection of his portraits was recently selected for the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Museums. His first monograph, Facing South: Portraits of Southern Artists was published by the University of Alabama Press. This body of work has also been exhibited across the southeast. Siegel’s work is also featured in the permanent collections of the Do Good Fund, the High Museum of Art, the Georgia Museum of Art, the Birmingham Museum of Art, and more.
