Jack Delano, born Jacob Ovcharov, moved from his native Russian to New York in 1923, at the age of 9. He went on to study illustration at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts until 1932, when he purchased a camera and discovered his passion for documentary photography. Delano began photographing coal-mining conditions in Pennsylvania and it was these photographs that made Roy Stryker offer him a position at the Farm Security Administration Photography program. It was within the FSA that Delano chased his photographic truth, the truth and dignity of the workingman through compassion. His works cover migrant workers both within industry and agriculture, everyday people and activities: humanity.
From 1946-47, Delano worked as a photographer for the Government of Puerto Rico after serving in the U.S. military from 1943-46. The last 50 years of his career he worked as a freelance photographer, illustrator, filmmaker, and music composer. He received an honorary art Doctorate at the University of the Sacred Heart in San Juan, Puerto Rico in 1987. His photographs exhibited internationally his whole artistic career in establishments as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Documenta 6 in Germany, Amerikafotografie in Switzerland, and the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas.
Among the many publications of his work, there have been four books published of Delano's photographs. The Smithsonian Press published two of these books, including his autobiography, Photographic Memories. The rich collection of Delano's photographs can be found among many private and public collections. The prestigious public collections are internationally enjoyed by museums as The Museum of Modern Art in New York, Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico, International Center of Photography, and in the achieves of the Library of Congress.
