- Jack Hooper "Women with Colored Blanket" January 1, 1970 Gouache and markerBy Jack HooperLocated in Arp, TXJack Hooper "Women with Colored Blanket" January 1, 1970 Gouache and marker on paper 12"x14" unframed Signed and dated in pencil lower left In this 1970 artwork by Jack Hooper, an enigmatic figure takes center stage. Rendered in gouache and marker, the woman, devoid of facial features, stands draped in a vivid, oversized blue coat that highlights her distorted form. Her long black hair adds a sense of mystery to the composition. In the foreground, a multi-colored blanket with a striking bright pink edge provides a captivating contrast. Hooper's minimalist approach invites viewers to ponder questions of identity and perception through this subtly compelling piece.
