According to Corsaut-Brosz, Mr. Coursaut came to California in 1956 after spending eight years studying under well-known artist Robert Brackman and others at the Art Students League of New York City. Mr. Corsaut chose the independent art school after receiving admission to Yale and a scholarship to the Kansas City Art Institute. In realist style, the artist has painted nudes and still lifes and created bronze sculptures. His bronze of John Wayne stood in the White House during the Reagan presidency and in 1993 he was commissioned to create the Presidential Medallion for President Clinton. His John Steinbeck bronze is at the entrance to Cannery Row in Monterey, and a full-size bronze of Ignacy Jan Paderewski is on the University of Southern California campus.
