- Lot Description
Jon Corbino (New York 1905-1964) Pen and Gouache Drawing on Paper of Two Nudes, inscribed “To Jordan Masse – Christmas 1945”
11 ⅝ in. x 8 ⅞ in. Overall 22 ½ in. x 18 ½ in.
Jon Corbino was born in Vittoria, Sicily in 1905 and came to the United States with his parents at the age of 8. He grew up in New York City and attended the Ethical Culture Fieldston School on an art scholarship and then enrolled in the Art Students League. He received two Guggenheim Fellowships and was elected a member of the National Academy of Design in 1940.
In 1941, he received the first grant awarded to a visual artist from the National Institute of Arts and Letters. The poet Stephen Vincent Benet made the presentation at Carnegie Hall, and in his commendation said that Corbino “has brought to American art rare gifts of color and design, and because of the honesty, richness and variety of his work.” Corbino’s work was also featured in three Venice Biennales.
In 1966, a critic for the Chicago American wrote of a Corbino retrospective exhibition: “he painted people of the world-people on the beach, in the sun, in the moonlight. But he graced them with spirit, life, and movement that transcend the everyday.”
His work is represented in 64 U.S. museums as well as the Lotus Club, New York, NY; First National Bank of Chicago; Fine Arts Society, Sarasota, FL; Hallmark Cards, Inc., Kansas City, MO; Ringling College of Art and Design, Sarasota, FL; Georgetown University Library, Washington, D.C.; The United States Post Office, Long Beach, Long Island, NY; Town of Rockport, Massachusetts, Rockport, MA.Items may have wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging.
