Peter George Caras (April 11, 1941 – February 28, 2022) was an American illustrator. He studied at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and the Art Students League of New York and was instructed by Frank J. Reilly, James Bama, and Norman Rockwell. He was an instructor of Advanced Pictorial Illustration at the duCret School of the Arts in Plainfield, NJ
Caras had an international reputation and was considered one of Americas foremost illustrators. His work has excited movie goers, inspired readers of countless books and magazines, and has sold numerous products through advertising print campaigns. At age 18 having set extremely high goals for himself, he sought out the legendary Norman Rockwell for guidance. Their friendship lasted until Rockwell's death in 1978. During Rockwell's twilight years, he wrote to Caras saying that he had “admiration” for his work.
At age 21, Caras met James Bama one of today's best known western artists, who became not only his friend but his mentor.
Caras has won numerous awards and is represented in important public, corporate, and private collections. Having reaped the benefits of success, Caras reciprocated by donating his time and talents to many charitable organizations and community projects. He was also an instructor of Advanced Pictorial Illustration at the duCret School of the Arts for four decades producing some of the best talents in illustration today.
Caras died on February 28, 2022, aged 80.
