Theodore Conrath (June 6, 1920 - January 4, 1995) was a painter, sculptor, and teacher.[1] He illustrated a book of poetry by Madeline Mason in 1949 called The Cage of Years. The New York Times commented, "the symbolic illustrations by Theodore Conrath only lack color to remind us of Blake."[2] The book is currently in collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[3] Conrath was a member of the National Arts Club from 1947-1954.
Life and Career
Born in Hebron, North Dakota, Conrath fought in the 164th Regiment[4] at the battle of Guadalcanal. This was the first Army unit to fight alongside the Marines, which earned them the nickname, "the 164th Marines."[5] After the war, he moved to New York City and through the G.I. Bill studied at the Art Students League under William Barnett and John Groth.
In 2018, 17 pieces of Conrath's work were discovered in a thrift store in Tarrytown, New York.[6] Ten of the paintings were displayed at the National Arts Clb from October, 2019 to January, 2020 in an exhibition titled, Discovery and Restoration: Ted Conrath.[7]
