Julian Schnabel a close friend, is the curator of an
upcoming exhibition at MOCA Los Angeles of Hopper's work.
They rushed it on account of his health but...sadly he still
won't see it exhibited as it runs July-September.

For most of the 1960s, Hopper was a Hollywood outsider with a reputation as a troublemaker and a rebel. He had appeared in Rebel Without a Cause with his close friend James Dean in 1955, but had subsequently been consigned to one too many supporting roles. What he really wanted to do was direct films that flew in the face of Hollywood convention – something he achieved, to a degree, with 1969’s Easy Rider, which ushered in a new era of vibrant independent film-making in America.
From 1961 to 1967, though, Hopper made photographs as if his life depended on it. In the vividly impressionistic introduction to Out of the Sixties – his first book of photographs, published in 1986 – Hopper wrote: “I never made a cent from these photos. They cost me money but kept me alive … They were the only creative outlet I had for these years until Easy Rider. I never carried a camera again.”

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

So sad, he was great, from Easy Rider to Apocalypse Now to Blue Velvet. Many forget or did not know he was an accomplished painter and photographer. He will be missed. Rest in peace Mr. Hopper. :Angel_anim:
