== Early life and influences == Colescott was born in Oakland, California, in 1921 to parents of Louisiana Creole descent. His brother, artist Robert Colescott, was born in 1925. Creole culture—which the artist described as “a rich tradition of cuisine and music, of skeptical judgments, of irony and humor in expression”〔Mary Weaver Chapin, ''The Prints of Warrington Colescott: A Catalogue Raisonné, 1948–2008''. University of Wisconsin Press and the Milwaukee Art Museum, 2010, p. 2.〕 —played a large role in family life. Both food and music were key components of his upbringing. Comic strips were also important to the young Colescott, especially the work of Jay “Ding” Darling; the caricatural and narrative components would greatly influence his mature work.〔Chapin, p. 3〕 As a teenager, Colescott discovered vaudeville and the burlesque at the Red Mill/Moulin Rouge theater on 8th Street in Oakland. The broad humor and slapstick, as well as the eroticism of the burlesque performances, would inform his art and humor throughout his career.〔Chapin, p. 4.
