John Brinckerhoff "Brinck"〔(Brinck Jackson, 86, Dies; Was Guru of the Landscape – New York Times )〕 Jackson, J. B. Jackson, (September 25, 1909, Dinard, France – August 28, 1996, La Cienega, NM) was a writer, publisher, instructor, and sketch artist in landscape design. Herbert Muschamp, New York Times architecture critic, stated that J. B. Jackson was "America's greatest living writer on the forces that have shaped the land this nation occupies." He was influential in broadening the perspective on the "vernacular" landscape. ==Early life==
Born in France to American parents, J. B. Jackson spent his early school years in Washington, D.C., and in Europe. At age 14 (1923) he enrolled at the elite Institut Le Rosey in Rolle, Switzerland, where he became fluent in both French and German. He savored an environment of mountains, meadows, and forests, but also absorbed the human face of the Swiss cities and cantons, and he would later draw upon his travels abroad in writings, sketches, and watercolors. He attended preparatory schools in New England and spent summers on his uncle's farm in New Mexico.〔entry for John Brinckerhoff Jackson, ''American National Biography Online'', consulted July 23, 2009 ()〕 During the height of his career Jackson lived just southwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico, near an historic property known as El Rancho de las Golondrinas (The Ranch of the Swallows).
