Jack Bryant, Sr.

Biography from the Archives of askART

Jack Bryant (1929-2012) was well known regionally, statewide, and even in national Western Art circles. His work in painting, sculpture, and other creative mediums is valued highly by prominent people such as Larry Mahan, rodeo cowboy; John Justin of Justin Boots; and baseball player and entrepreneur Nolan Ryan, all of whom he immortalized in bronze.
Collectors have compared Bryant to famous Western artist Charlie Russell because both were self-taught Western men themselves and loved to work in a log cabin studio. Bryant built his own log workplace behind his house. His sculptures were in bronze, stone or wood, and he also created Western objects like turquoise jewelry, unique knives and tomahawks. Bryant donated many paintings and sculptures to charity.

Bryant was a member of the Texas Cowboy Artists Association and fared well in their shows and competitions as well as in others. He said his talent in painting, sculpture and silversmithing was “born in me.” He once told an interviewer that if he was in the mood, he could paint for 18 hours straight. “If I’m not in the mood, I just go fishing.”
