Jon Corbino

Corbino

Jon Corbino N.A.(1905-1964) highly acclaimed artist for heroic themes revealing the anxieties of America during the 1930s, Jon Corbino depicted disasters such as wars and floods. He was much admired for his skill in draftsmanship and brilliant, smoldering colors. Since his death in 1964, Corbino's work has been exhibited in over 100 museum exhibitions and one man shows.

Feature articles about Corbino appeared in Esquire, Time and Life magazines. In 1945, his paintings appeared on the covers of Art Digest, American Artist and Art News. Corbino received the first grant awarded to a visual artist from the National Institute of Arts and Letters in 1941. The poet Stephen Vincent Benet made the presentation at Carnegie Hall, praising Corbino "because he has brought to American art rare gifts of color and design, and because of the honesty, richness and variety of his work."
