Alfonso Corpus: "I have a constant fascination with Mexico and remember
the stories my father would tell me about his life there during the Mexican
Revolution. In order to maintain the spirit and values of Mexican culture,
I have been bringing together the best of my ideas of the Mexican experience
with my contemporary studies." |
|
A modern American printmaker and painter, two factors figure prominently
in the art of Alfonso Corpus: firstly, his Mexican heritage and secondly,
his thirteen years working at a steel mill. In this compelling lithograph
entitled, "En Tiempos Pasados" (In Times Gone By), both these elements are apparent. |
|
After his experience as a steel worker, Alfonso Corpus studied at the Indiana
University at Bloomington and graduated with a Master of Fine Arts degree
in printmaking. In 1980 he began teaching printmaking and drawing at The
Richard Stockton College of New Jersey, in Pomona, and is currently an
Associate Professor there. During his career Alfonso Corpus has received
awards from the Ford Foundation, the New Jersey State Council on the Arts
and the Rutgers Center for Innovative Printmaking as well as receiving
the Distinguished Faculty Fellowship from Stockton College. |

"En Tiempos Pasados" (In Times Gone By) is annotated by the artist -- "S P 1" --which perhaps
signifies 'Special Proof 1'. Both strange and familiar, the image emerges
like a gigantic icon from the dark, black background. |
