Early life

Move to Los Angeles

In 1905, Poock moved to Los Angeles, eventually settling in the Highland Park neighborhood.[3] He worked in construction — including a stint at Manzanillo, Mexico, where he also painted[4] — and as a mechanical drafter until retiring at age 50 to devote himself full-time to painting.[5]

Career

Fritz Poock worked primarily in watercolor and was a member of the influential California Art Club,[6] painted a mural at Santa Monica High School[6] and had shows at the venerable Stendahl Galleries[3] and the Friday Morning Club. Upon his death in 1945, his wife Doris Poock donated paintings to the City of Los Angeles[7] and to the Southwest Museum of the American Indian.[8]
