The Life and Art of Jack Boul

Jack Boul was an American painter, sculptor, and teacher. Born in Brooklyn, United States, he was raised in the South Bronx to Russian and Romanian parents. Following his education at the American Artists School, he served as a sergeant in an Engineer's battalion as part of the U.S. Occupational Forces in and around Pisa, Italy. After his service, he studied at the Cornish School of Art in Seattle, Washington, before moving to Washington, D.C., to continue his studies at American University.

His artistic practice encompassed oil paintings, monotypes, and sculpture. His work has been exhibited at various venues, including the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Mint Museum, and Stanford University's Art Gallery. In 2022, his works were exhibited in Paris at the Salle Paul Rosenberg. His pieces are held in several collections, such as the National Gallery of Art, the Phillips Collection, and the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History.

Teaching and Notable Series

Boul had a significant career in art education, teaching at the Scuola Internazionale di Grafica in Venice, Italy, Montgomery College, and the Washington Studio School, which he helped found. He also served on the art faculty at American University for fifteen years.

One notable body of work is his series of 17 monoprints depicting Holocaust victims, a project inspired by his experiences as a soldier in Italy. This series was exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery of Art and was later donated to the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust.
