A World Unconquered: The Art of Oscar Brousse Jacobson - Paperback

by Anne Allbright (Author), Janet Catherine Berlo (Author), Mark Andrew White (Author)

Oscar Brousse Jacobson (1882-1966) was a prolific artist who devoted much of his career to the depiction of the wilderness of the American West, especially Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. He also became a passionate supporter of the visual arts in the Southwest and an enthusiastic promoter of Native American fine artists, such as the early Kiowa artists, Acee Blue Eagle, and others. Over the course of his forty-year career at the University of Oklahoma, he oversaw the dramatic expansion of the School of Art and the creation of an art museum in 1936 that would eventually become the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art.
