Abe Johannes Kuipers (1918 - 2016) was a visual artist and typographer.
After training at the Groningen Academy Minerva, he started a career as a painter after the war. Kuipers has a special position in post-war painting. Although he was a member of the artists' group Het Narrenschip, which was founded by three former Ploeg members in 1950, he worked for most of his life as a soloist. After initially specializing as a fine painter, he increasingly focused on pop art and graphic techniques from the end of the fifties. He worked as a teacher at the AKI in Enschede from 1962. He also worked for publisher Wolters-Noordhoff, took care of the layout of the exhibition catalogues of the Groninger Museum and of the national Council for the Arts and was a jury member for awarding royal subsidies. In 1980 he received the HN Werkman Prize for his entire oeuvre.
