Jordan became interested in art while working at the McNay Art Museum.
Jordan received an offer to become the director of the Meadows Museum while still a graduate student in 1966.
Jordan and Algur H. Meadows' final collaboration was the acquisition of Portrait of Queen Mariana (1656) by Diego Velázquez in 1978.
The Kimbell Art Museum provided Jordan a bigger budget to organize exhibitions and acquire paintings.
With 11 still lifes, including Still Life with Sweets and Pottery (1627) as the catalog cover, Jordan represented Juan van der Hamen the most quantitatively to reflect his prolificacy in the exhibition.Awards 1
