Note submitted May 2004, is from Tina P. Jackson, Gilroy, California.

"Although I now live in California, I grew up in Philadelphia, and had the wonderful experience of being able to drop in frequently on my dad's classes at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Dad taught there, in addition to the Fleisher Art Memorial and Allens Lane Art Center.

He worked very hard at his craft, which included teaching as well as exhibiting and selling his artwork worldwide.

The following information is from a brochure published by the Philadelphia Art Alliance : ....Eighteen prizes for his work...exhibited in almost every national show throughout the United States...creations included in the collections of 42 American museums. Such is the record of Martin Jackson, Philadelphia artist, who will exhibit oils in Gallery B from February 4 through March 4. In addition to his prize-garnering work, Jackson teaches at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Fleisher Art Memorial and Allens Art Center.

He earned a B.S. in Education degree and a Master's Degree in Fine Arts from Temple University. He also studied with Franklin Watkins and Maxime B. Gottlieb. In 1964, Temple honored him with its Distinguished Alumni Award. Among Jackson's other honors are the First Hallgarten Prize from the National Academy of Design, New York; first prize from the Butler Art Institute, Youngstown, O.; Truman Prize from the National Academy; Guggenheim Fellowship, and a print prize from the Library of Congress. Jacksons are owned by The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Brooklyn Museum, New York's Museum of Modern Art, Princeton University and the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. among others.
