In a session for Vogue, Jack photographed Elliott Gould, a Brooklyn-born actor who had reached Hollywood via Broadway. During the run of the musical 'I Can Get It for You Wholesale '(1962), Gould met the young Barbra Streisand, whom he was to marry in 1963 and divorce in 1971. When Gould was photographed on December 6, 1967 by Jack Robinson for a Vogue feature, he had just appeared on Broadway in the short run of Jules Feiffer’s black comedy Little Murders.
Born in 1928, Jack Robinson grew up in Clarksdale, Mississippi, attended Tulane University, and pursued photography as a hobby in New Orleans. His early street portraits captured New Orleans' rich culture.
In 1955, he moved to New York, becoming a renowned freelance fashion photographer, even gracing the cover of Life Magazine within four years. In 1965, he joined Vogue Magazine and impressed Diana Vreeland with his portrait work. Jack completed numerous assignments for Vogue over seven years. In 1972, he returned to Memphis to care for his parents, ending his photography career. Later, he excelled in stained glass design.
When he passed away from cancer in 1997, his extensive photographic legacy was discovered, leading to The Jack Robinson Archive and The Robinson Gallery, fulfilling his posthumous wish to preserve his work.
