Oliver Lee Jackson b. 1935 Untitled Monumental intaglio, etching and drypoint 1985 Signed and dated in pencil lower center. Numbered 5/23. 46.5 x 58 inches (as framed) Jackson was born in St Louis and studied at Illinois Wesleyan University, Bloomington, IL, BFA; and University of Iowa, MFA, 1963. His solo exhibitions include the National Gallery of Art, 2019; Contemporary Art Museum, St Louis, 2012; Harvard University; Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento; UC Berkeley; Seattle Art Museum; St Louis Art Museum; and UC Santa Barbara. Along with visual artists Manuel Hughes and Emilio Cruz, Jackson was associated with BAG (Black Artists’ Group) in St Louis in the late 1960s-early 1970s. This collective held inter-disciplinary exhibitions/performances which included elements of theater, poetry, dance, music and visual arts. Lizetta LeFalle-Collins makes the crucial point to Jackson’s work in St James Guide to Black Artists, p.268: “Form, an essential element of life and of all art, is at the heart of Oliver Jackson’s work, but the most riveting thing about his artwork is the nervous energy created by his brushwork. Figuration is critical to his work…His work is clearly influenced by his presence in the San Francisco Bay Area, where figuration refused to take a back seat to the pure painting of abstract expressionism.” 35 x 47.5 inches
