It bore a gallery label verso but it is no longer there. Depicting a still life with a white pitcher holding dark red and pink gladiolus stems. Luigi Corbellini (1901 – 1968) was an Italian post-impressionist painter and sculptor. Corbellini was born in 1901 in Piacenza, Italy, the fourth of twelve children of Celeste Corbellini and his wife Giuseppina Gazzola. He began art lessons there at a young age. At thirteen, he joined the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, Brera Academy in Milan, and after that the Albertina in Turin. In 1920, when Corbellini was nineteen, the Desclée de Brouwer publishing firm of Bruges announced an international painting competition which he won with a portrait of the Madonna. He was then taken on in the firm's lithograph studio. He arrived in Bruges speaking no French, which he had to learn. He also studied painting with Flori van Acker. He worked for Desclée de Brouwer until 1923 and later noted that this was the only job he had ever had. In 1923, Corbellini moved to Paris and took a room in a boarding house in Montmartre, waiting for a place at the Bateau-Lavoir. A year later, he was able to take a studio which had once been occupied by Pablo Picasso. In the summer of 1924, Corbellini was painting scenes in Deauville, where one day his work was admired by Robert de Rothschild, who invited him to paint the portrait of his daughter. This led on to other work. Boni de Castellane commissioned him to paint all of his horses, and Corbellini was able to move from Montmartre to Montparnasse. By 1928, Corbellini was exhibiting work at the salon of the Société des Artistes Indépendants, later at the Salon des Tuileries, Salon d'Automne, and others. His paintings continued to be exhibited in Parisian galleries until the 1960s. He is of the generation of the Ecole de Paris, School of Paris. He became a painter of floral compositions, portraits, landscapes, cityscapes and genre scenes. He was also known for his sculpture. In 1941, during the Second World War, with Maurice Dufrêne, Pierre Gandon, Gérard Cochet, and others Corbellini was one of the few painters and sculptors who received the higher rate of 10,000 Francs from the City of Paris to compensate artists and intellectuals for loss of income. In 1947 Corbellini moved to New York City. American art dealer Wally Findlay, of Wally Findlay Galleries began to represent Corbellini, bringing his Parisian paintings to America and showing them in his galleries in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Along with Francois Gall, Michel Henry, Jules Rene Herve, Andre Gisson, Marcel Dyf, Dietz Edzard, Gaston Sebire, Jean Dufy, Claude Venard, Elisee Maclet, Yolande Ardissone, Gen Paul, Andre Hambourg, Jean Dufy, Gaston Sebire, Paul Aizpiri, Constantine Kluge, Jacques Bouyssou, Le Pho, Henri Maik Hecht, he exemplified a Ecole de Paris sensibility in his work. He spent the last years of his life travelling the world. He had exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, Pasadena, Palm Beach, Caracas, Tahiti, Hong Kong, and Japan.

By Mortimer Borne
Located in Surfside, FL
Floral painting. Flowers in a vase. Mortimer Borne, Printmaker, painter, sculptor, and educator was born in Rypin, Poland in 1902 and emigrated to the US in 1916. He studied at the National Academy of Design, The Art Students League, The Beaux-Arts Institute of Design, and with Charles Webster Hawthorne, founder of the Cape Cod School of Art in Provincetown. Painted in a thick impasto style similar in technique to Samuel Rothbort and David Burliuk. Borne himself taught at The New School for Social Research in New York City from 1945-1967. From the 1920s through the 40s he was a prolific producer of New York City cityscapes and genre scenes. In later decades, he adopted a more modernist style apparently influenced by Picasso, producing color drypoints of abstracted figures. His works were widely exhibited in museums in the U.S. and abroad from 1931 and later, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the American Institute of Graphic Arts, Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Corcoran Gallery of Art, New York Public Library, Carnegie Institute, and Royal Society of Painters, Etchers and Engravers in London.
