Biography of

Hugo Ballin

    From Wikipedia

    Hugo Ballin NA (March 7, 1879 – November 27, 1956) was born

    in New York City and studied at the Art Students League of New York. When the

    Wisconsin State Capital was built in the early 20th Century, Ballin created 26

    murals for its interior. In 1917 he began working for Goldwyn Pictures in New

    Jersey as an art director and production designer and in 1921 he moved to Los

    Angeles at the request of Samuel Goldwyn. He was soon also directing, writing,

    and producing silent films for his own production company. He was married to

    the actress Mabel Croft Ballin.

    When Hollywood began making talking pictures, Ballin left

    the film industry to return to his first career as a classically trained

    artist. He became one of the foremost muralists in the Los Angeles area,

    producing murals which still stand at landmark locations such as Griffith

    Observatory, Wilshire Boulevard Temple, LA County General Hospital (now known

    as Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center), and Burbank City Hall.

    Ballin was made a National Academician in 1940. He is buried

    in Woodlawn Memorial Cemetery, Santa Monica.
