"Working in the tradition of Henri Matisse, Brandt has adopted beauty and realism as his concerns. Brandt has managed to bridge the gap between the masters of the Western tradition, Edouard Manet, Edgar Degas, Paul Cezanne, Pierre Bonnard, Max Beckmann and Willem de Kooning."
Warren Brandt (1918-2002) studied with Yasuo Kuniyoshi at the Art Students League and then served as an official portraitist in the Army during World War II. On the GI Bill, he attended Washington University in St. Louis and was a student of Max Beckmann and Philip Guston, while keeping close ties to the Abstract Expressionists in New York.
Brandt was head of the Art Department of Salem College from 1949 to 1950. He taught at Pratt Institute from 1950 to 1952 and was an instructor at Guilford College in Greensboro, North Carolina in 1952. He was named chairman of the Art Department of the University of Mississippi from 1957 to 1959, taught at Southern Illinois University from 1959 to 1961; School of Visual Art, New York City from 1962 through 1963 and Director of the New York Studio School in 1967. He became a Member Academician of the National Academy of Design, New York. More on Warren Brandt
