Скачать или смотреть Wyoming's Artist: Harry Jackson - Lecture Presentation by Henry Adams

It’s not often an artist leaves such a heavy a mark in society and on his legacy as the American artist Harry Jackson. Harry was prolific in creating art and did so with an intensity that overflowed his studio with art. Sculptures, murals, paintings and even numerous drawings from childhood onward are part of the artist’s lifelong body of work.

Harry Jackson is perhaps best known for his bronzes which include portraits of movie stars and presidents. However, his self-portrait canvases, works from the abstract expressionist period, and other genres serve as testament that he was interested in all mediums and forms of art. Following Harry’s interest in abstract expressionism, he returned to realism, when in 1954 he journeyed to Europe to study the masters. Funded in part by a Fulbright Scholarship Jackson embarked on a lifelong study through the art of “the copy” he skillfully replicated dozens of works by the Old Masters.
