Warren Brandt (artist)

Warren Brandt (February 26, 1918, Greensboro, North Carolina, USA - May 5, 2002 Sykesville, Maryland, USA) was an American painter who made significant contributions to modern realism. As an educator, he played a pioneering role in establishing formal art programs at several state universities in the American South and Midwest during the1950s. While his early career showed influences of abstract expressionism, he later developed a distinctive figurative style inspired by Henri Matisse. Brandt specialized in domestic scenes and still lifes, characterized by vibrant colors and carefully structured compositions. His work is held in numerous art institutions and private collections across the United States. Provided by Wikipedia
