Does anyone have more information on William Rau? I grew up in the house he lived in (on the border of Richmond Hill and Kew Gardens, in Queens, NY). The house has been in my family for over 30 years. I am preparing to take over the house, and would like to learn more about his work.
My neighbor, who has lived next to the Rau house for amost 50 years, mentioned that he was an artist, and painted many of the murals in theaters around Brooklyn and Queens.
It seems that I’m on the right website, considering what I see posted. Hopefully, I can go to some of these theaters, if they still exist, and take some photos of his work.
Thanks so much, guys. I plan on visiting the Queens Theater as soon as I move back. I’ll share whatever photos I can get.
