The Other A.Y Jackson

Published in 1979, this intimate study complete with archival images and early sketches, traces the full sweep of A.Y Jackson’s long life from the early years of struggling to be recognized, to national acclaim and his final years. Drawing on reminiscences of many of Jackson’s colleagues, on correspondence, and recorded conversations, O.J. Firestone, a close friend of Jackson’s, reveals for the first time the surprising nature of the man behind the easel.
