George Hooper was a British artist who worked in a unique style informed by Fauvism and the Bloomsbury Group although his style varied greatly throughout his long career.[1] Hooper was born on 10 September 1910 in Gorakphur, India and died on 18 July 1994 in Surrey, England.[2] During World War II He was invited to join Kenneth Clark’s Recording Britain scheme as one of a small group of artists commissioned to create works that would, “...boost morale by celebrating the country’s natural beauty and architectural heritage”.[3]He taught at Brighton College of Art and works of his are in the Victoria and Albert Museum, The British Museum and a number of smaller galleries in Sussex.[1] He spent most of his later life in Redhill in Surrey painting largely independently of any school or group of artists.[2] He married Joyce Katherine Hooper MBE (who later founded Surrey Opera) in 1941.
