From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki


Nathaniel Jacobson (1916-1996) was an American artist and color theorist based in Boston.[1] He studied at the Massachusetts College of Art[2] and also received a B.F.A. from Yale University in 1941. Jacobson exhibited at the Carnegie Institute[3][4] in 1941 as well as New York galleries such as the Macbeth Gallery and the Gallery of Modern Art[5] before serving in World War II. Following the war, Jacobson created a mural for Hillel House at Boston University, a mural for Temple Israel on Great Neck, had solo exhibitions at the DeCordova Museum,[6] the Danforth Museum and the Jewish Museum in New York[7]. In 1975 Jacobson published The Sense of Color[8], a textbook widely used in middle school and high schools. In the 1980s, Jacobson became a research associate at MIT where he explored various aspects of color theory[9]. Following a trip to Israel in 1956, Jacobson produced a number of paintings based on the landscape of Israel. Jacobson was the subject of a retrospective exhibit “Color Demands a Response”[10] at Hebrew College in Boston in 2007.
