Warren Brandt was born in Greensboro, North Carolina. After high school he left for New York City, enrolling at the Pratt Institute for night classes. He continued his studies with Yasui Kuniyoshi at the Art Students League. After serving as a portrait artist in the Army during WWII, he enrolled at Washington University in St. Louis and studied with Philip Guston and Max Beckmann.

In 1960, Warren Brandt was back in New York and married to Grace Borgenicht, a prominent artist and gallerist in the city. It was at this time that Brandt was transitioning away from the abstract expressionist style to a more representational Matissesque manner. In 1988, the Metropolitan Museum of Art selected a self-portrait by Brandt to anchor their new portrait gallery.
