Walter Jackson, by Bill Pollak (671 words) |
 | Jackson was permanently disabled by childhood polio and performed on crutches. |
| Jackson's Chi-Sound material was more pop- and mainstream-oriented than his Okeh recordings had been, and he succeeded with lushly produced covers of pop songs such as Morris Albert's "Feelings" (1976) and Peter Frampton's "Baby I Love Your Way" (1977). |
| Jackson would sound good singing almost anything, but much of his Chi-Sound material puts this statement to a challenging test. |
| Howard E. Wooden / Billy Morrow Jackson (130 words) |
| Howard Wooden surveys Jackson's stylistic and technical developments as an artist, beginning with his early fl-and-white woodblock prints executed in Mexico in 1949 and 1950 and ending with three large murals painted in the late 1980s, one of which adorns the Illinois State Capitol. |
| Jackson's work, which hangs in the National Museum of American Art, the National Gallery of Art, and the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., and in many other museums across America, feature images derived, but not copied, from reality. |
| A brief essay by Jackson on his painting technique appears in an appendix. |
