Corbino

In this "metabiography" of Italian-American artist Jon Corbino (1905-1964), English professors at the State University of New York at Potsdam trace the career of the contrarian artist known as CORBINO, the "Rubens of New England." Later he became an influential member of the Sarasota School of art in Florida; his circus paintings were commissioned by the Ringling Museum of Art there. Introduced by a leading commentator on American art, the book includes color plates and images of Corbino's paintings and family. Excelsior is an imprint of State University of New York Press.
