The Marshall

Additional Information

Harry Jackson always pushed his art out toward the edge of the possible. He pushed realistic aspects of his work towards abstraction and pulled abstract elements back towards the real. He polychromed some bronzes because the ancients did that and he sculpted others as if they were on the high wire. And that’s where Jackson did his best work–on the high wire where action, emotion, and imagination collide.
Almost certainly the only figure in American art to claim friendship with Jackson Pollock and John Wayne, Harry Jackson was born in Chicago and grew up in his mother’s diner near the stockyards where men of the range brought their cattle to market. Jackson went West in his teens, served in the Pacific in World War II, went East to meet Pollock and paint among the new-minted Abstract Expressionists, then rediscovered realism and made the West his subject while he lived and worked in Italy.
