| Born Harry Shapiro, Harry Jackson grew up in Chicago, before running away to Wyoming at the age of 14, finding work as a ranch hand. He was encouraged in art by an early teacher, and by his peers in Wyoming, and by 1940 had returned to Chicago to attend the Art Institute, the Frederick Mizen Academy, and the Academy of Fine Arts. Following WW II, Jackson moved to New York, befriended Jackson Pollock, and experimented with Abstract Expressionism. In 1858, while on a trip to Italy, Jackson began working with sculpture, and again painted in a more representational style. His studio is located in Cody, Wyoming, where he occasionally takes on monumental projects such as his famous 6-ton, 21 foot John Wayne.
