Almost certainly the only American artist to claim friendship with Jackson Pollock and John Wayne, the iconoclastic Jackson (Harry) grew up in his mother’s diner near the Chicago 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 turned his attention to the American West while living and working in Italy.
