New York critics praised his smoldering color and sweeping draftsmanship, characterized his images as running the gamut from the clamorous tempests of Wagner to the frolicking breezes of Mozart.   Feature articles about Corbino appeared in Esquire, Time and Life as well as in all the national art magazines. In 1945, at the height of his career, his paintings appeared on the covers of three art magazines. 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."   Born in Vittoria, Sicily, on April 3, 1905, Corbino came to the United States at the age of eight with his parents. He grew up in New York City, where he was awarded an art scholarship to the Ethical Culture School and attended the Arts Students League. He received two Guggenheim Fellowships and was elected a member of the National Academy of Design.   As early as 1931 Corbino's work was included in museum exhibitions with artists such as Degas and Matisse. His work was featured in three Venice Biennales and he won his first national award at the Art Institute of Chicago for a painting titled Earthquake.   People identified with Corbino's heroic themes, which revealed the anxieties of America during the 1930s. The critic from Art News observed, "Only thirty-three years old, Corbino has already become one of the foremost figures in contemporary painting." These paintings of disasters such as wars and floods were Corbino's tribute to the perseverance of man against the unknown forces of the universe.   Corbino was known for his love of horses, sometimes painting these powerful animals as mythic symbols from the Greek legends of his childhood. He painted the fantasy of the circus and the ballet, often from backstage where the performers were captured in a reflective moment.   The critic of the Chicago American defined Corbino's impressive career for a retrospective exhibition in 1966. "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."           Museum and Public Collections     Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY National Academy of Design, New York, NY Art Students League, New York, NY Brooklyn Museum of Art, Brooklyn, NY Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, PA Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts Museum of American Art, San Diego Museum of Art, San Diego, CA The Toledo Museum of Art, Toledo, OH The Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit, MI Indianapolis Museum of Art, Indianapolis, IN Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN The Montclair Art Museum, Montclair, NJ Norton Museum of Art, West Palm Beach, FL Portland Art Museum, Portland, OR The Parrish Art Museum, Southampton, NY Worcester Art Museum, Worcester, MA Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, Memphis, TN Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO Davenport Museum of Art, Davenport, IA Grand Rapids Art Museum, Grand Rapids, MI Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown, OH Mint Museum of Art, Charlotte, NC Hickory Museum of Art, Hickory, NC Fitchburg Art Museum, Fitchburg, MA New Britain Art Museum, New Britain, CT Canajoharie Art Gallery, Canajoharie, NY Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas, TX Cape Ann Historical Museum, Gloucester, MA Fuller-Brockton Art Museum, Brockton, MA Gulf Coast Museum of Art, Largo, FL Addison Gallery of Fine Arts, Andover, MA Lotus Club, New York, NY First National Bank of Chicago, Chicago, IL Fine Arts Society, Sarasota, FL Hallmark Cards, Inc., Kansas City, MO Georgia Museum of Art, University of Georgia, Athens, GA Oberlin College Allen Memorial Art Museum, Oberlin, OH Howard University, Washington, DC Sweet Briar College, Sweet Briar, VA Mead Art Museum, Amherst College, Amherst, MA Ball State University Museum of Art, Muncie, IN Brigham Young University Museum of Art, Provo, UT Mount Holyoke College Art Museum, South Hadley, MA Palmer Museum of Art, Penn State University, University Park, PA Ackland Art Museum, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC Weatherspoon Art Gallery, University of North Carolina, Greensboro, NC Colby College, Waterville, ME University of Oklahoma Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, Norman, OK Hofstra University Museum, Hempstead, NY Davis Museum, Wellesley College, Wellesley, MA Samuel P.
