Following is the obituary of the artist, published in The State newspaper, South Carolina, December 29, 2012

As a boy growing up in Sumter, Robert Courtright dreamed of being an artist and visiting places far beyond the town limits.

Guided by his talents, Courtright would use both of these dreams to create a world-renowned career, spreading his unique work with masks and monochromatic collages throughout the world.

The artist, painter and sculptor, who was a Sumter native, died Thursday in France, where he had lived for decades.

After studying at the Art Students League and the New School for Social Research in New York and at St. John's College in Maryland, Courtright visited Europe in 1949 before moving abroad in 1952.

Drawing from both the Mediterranean Romanesque architecture he sought out near his eventual home in southern France, and his fascination with Commedia dell' Arte, Courtright embarked on a career of more than 60 years.
