Jack Hooper (Jack Meredith Hooper or Jack M. Hooper) (August 26, 1928 - January 24, 2014) was an American painter, muralist, sculptor, printmaker and art educator. Hooper was a major figure on the Southern California art scene,[1][2] belonging to that generation of Los Angeles painters who matured during the late 1950’s and the 1960’s, painters such as John Altoon, Sam Amato, Robert Irwin, Lee Mullican, William Brice and Billy Al Bengston.[3] He was an innovator in the use of new materials, most importantly plastic in art.[4] He is known for abstract expressionist, mural and figurative painting.[5] Hooper has exhibited in art museums and galleries nationally and internationally including solo shows in Europe, Mexico and the United States.[1][2][6] Modeling renown UCLA art professor and figurative artist, Jan Stussy,[7] the last 20 years of his life were spent in rural Mexico, where he drew and painted every single day until his death.
