Frame size: 15 3/4" X 16". Image size: 10 1/4" X 9 3/4". Original Drypoint Etching. Pencil Signed "Cornell". Edition 21/60., ::: Thomas Browne Cornell (March 1, 1937 Ð December 7, 2012), A contemporary American painter and etcher, Thomas Cornell studied art at Amherst College (B.A., 1959) and at Yale University School of Art and Architecture (1959-1960). In his early career (c. 1960 - 1975), Thomas Cornell concentrated mainly upon the art of etching and engraving and participated in printmaking exhibitions at the Philadelphia Print Club, DeCordova Museum, University of San Diego, Brooklyn Museum, the National Council of Fine Arts and elsewhere. In 1972 the Associated American Artists, New York, launched a one-man exhibition of Thomas Cornell's prints. As this major publisher of original etchings, drypoints and lithographs most often printed its art in editions of 250 impressions it is probable that Revolutionary Profile was published by them at this date. Thomas Cornell also founded his own publishing house (Tragos Press, 1964) and printed editions of books and broadsides. After 1975, Thomas Cornell turned mostly to figurative painting. For both his fine prints and oils the artist has received such major grants as the Louis Comfort Tiffany Award (1961), the National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities Fellowship (1966-67), the Fulbright Grant (1966), Ford Foundation Grant (1969-70), and the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant (1993). Thomas Cornell has also taught art at the University of California, Santa Barbara (1960-62) and at Princeton University (1969-70). Since 1962, he has been a Professor of Art at Bowdoin College, Maine. In 2001 Bowdoin College appointed Thomas Cornell the Richard E. Steele Professor of Visual Arts. Today, the fine art of Thomas Cornell is included in the following collections; Achenbach Foundation, San Francisco, Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, Bowdoin College Museum of Art, Cleveland Museum of Art, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the National Museum of American Art, Washington, D.C., New York Public Library, Princeton University Library, University of California Art Gallery, University of North Carolina and Yale University.
