Fred Hocks Triptych, San Diego 1977 #7702v529v01v02v04

            From: cwamericanmodernism.com
"Ferdinand (“Fred”) Hocks (1886-1981) was one of San Diego’s premiere modernist painters and print makers. Born in Aachen, Germany, in 1886, Hocks was descended from Dutch nobility. He immigrated to San Francisco at the age of 16 and studied under Arthur Matthews at the Mark Hopkins Art Institute, and after the 1906 earthquake, at the Art Students League in New York. By 1919, Hocks had moved to Los Angeles before relocating to San Diego around 1924. He served as director of the Los Angeles Art Institute’s summer program and the San Diego School of Arts & Crafts, and he also taught at the Coronado School of Fine Arts. In the 1930s, he worked on WPA art projects, and in the 1940s, he was a driving force in the creation of the Allied Art Council of San Diego. Hocks was a tireless arts booster in San Diego. Orren R. Louden in his Pallette Chatter column for the November 21, 1947, edition of the National City Star-News noted, “Fred Hocks, well known and highly thought of in national art circles . . . . has done more for the development of art and culture in San Diego than any other artist or group of artists or art lovers in San Diego.” Hocks exhibited at the Berkley League of Fine Art, the San Diego Fine Art Gallery, the Golden Gate International Exhibition, the California State Fair, the Laguna Beach Art Gallery, the Art Center of La Jolla, the Long Beach Museum of Art, Pasadena Art Museum, and the San Diego Art Museum. He won several prizes, including at the Laguna Beach Art Association (1938 - 2nd honorable mention for Whatever Gods There Be), National Arts Week Exhibition of Escondido, California (1941 – 2nd prize – oil section), San Diego Fine Arts Gallery (1946 - 1st prize for F-H-8), and the California State Fair (1947 – 2nd prize). His early works are rare because many of them were destroyed in a fire in the 1940s at his Sweetwater Valley studio. He is listed in Who was Who in American Art and other standard references."
