Title:	Head Study
Artist:	Cornell, Thomas (Cleveland, Ohio, 1937 - Resides, Brunswick, Maine)
Date:	c. 1972
Medium:	Original Etching and Aquatint
Note:	Thomas Cornel: 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) Cornell concentrated mainly upon the art of etching 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 and lithographs most often printed its art in editions of 250 impressions it is probable that Head Study 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.
