Thomas Cornell: 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. |
