Warren Brandt was born on February 26th, 1918 in Greensboro, North Carolina. Though he was a talented football player, whose team tied for the state championship in his senior year, he held a passion for art from his earliest childhood memories, and hitchhiked to New York City to become an artist in 1935. Brandt began his formal art education by attending night classes at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn from 1935 to 1937, while making deliveries in the garment district by day. In 1938 he hitchhiked again, this time to California, where he worked in animation for Walt Disney for one year. His studies were interrupted by World War II, during which he served in the National Guard for one year in 1941, and in the U.S. Army from 1943 to 1946 at Fort Bragg as an official portraitist. Following his military service, Brandt returned to New York to study on the G.I. Bill at the Art Students League with Yasuo Kuniyoshi. He then moved to St. Louis, Missouri to study under notable artists Philip Guston and Max Beckmann at Washington University. After earning his B.F.A. in 1948 he took ten months to study in Rome and Paris on a Milliken Fellowship. Between 1951 and 1952 in New York he took several art history courses at New York University Institute of Fine Arts including a seminar on Goya, then returned to his hometown to complete his M.F.A. at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro in 1953. He spent a lot of time at the Cedar Tavern in New York, a well-known gathering place for abstract expressionists. There, he developed friendships with several artists, including Franz Kline and Jack Tworkov. While pursuing his graduate studies, Brandt made significant contributions to art education by taking on leadership positions at numerous institutions across the United States. His academic career began at Salem College in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where he served as chairman of the Department of Art (1949-1950). After teaching at alma mater Pratt Institute in Brooklyn (1950-1952) and Guilford College in Greensboro (1952-1956), he went on to chair art departments at several state universities, having a profound influence on a generation of new and upcoming artists. As Chairman of the Department of Art at both the University of Mississippi (1957-1959) and Southern Illinois University, Carbondale (1959-1961), Brandt helped to establish formal art programs to support BFA and MFA studies. Brandt married magazine editor Carolyn Coker in 1943, and they had a daughter, Isabella. The marriage ended in divorce during his time at Carbondale in 1960. A few months later he met Grace Borgenicht, a painter, art dealer and early champion of contemporary American art. He later returned to New York City where he taught at the School of Visual Arts (1962-1964) and briefly served as director of the New York Studio School (1967). For the remainder of his life Brandt worked on making art full time, as well as devoting himself to caring for his family. They played an important role in his life and work, often inspiring and supporting his artistic endeavors as well as his many moves around the country. Grace died in 2001, and Brandt died less than a year later on May 5th, 2002 in a hospital in Sykesville, Maryland. His work, known for its vibrant colors, structured compositions, and a blend of realism with a personal vision that captured domestic scenes and still lifes can be found in permanent displays in collections around the country, including the Carnegie Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
