John E. “Jack” Bosson

September 18, 1937 – November 1, 2012

Jack Bosson was born in Western Pennsylvania, grew up in Florida, and served in the Navy before turning his focus to art. He studied painting at Cooper Union and then received a Fulbright to study in Paris in 1963. He went on to earn a Masters in Fine Art at Cornell.

One of the highlights of Bosson’s early career was a commission from NASA in 1967 to create two paintings of the solar eclipse as seen by astronauts during the Gemini 12 orbital flight, a project that led to his Navigator Series. He also received many grants and awards, including an NEA grant in 1980.
