The personal papers and archival materials related to the Southern California artists Rex Brandt (1914-2000) and Joan Irving Brandt (1916-1995) includes correspondence, diaries, photographs, slides, subject files, business records, sketches, and publications reflecting the lives and artwork of these two “California School” artists. Although the collection is divided into two parts, the papers of Rex Brandt and the papers of Joan Irving Brandt, because of the interconnectedness of their lives and artistic endeavors, there are materials related to both artists in each section.
