New York critics praised his smoldering color and sweeping draftsmanship, characterized his images as running the gamut from the clamorous tempests of Wagner to the frolicking breezes of Mozart. Feature articles about Corbino appeared in Esquire, Time and Life as well as in all the national art magazines. In 1945, at the height of his career, his paintings appeared on the covers of three art magazines. Corbino received the first grant awarded to a visual artist from the National Institute of Arts and Letters in 1941. The poet Stephen Vincent Benet made the presentation at Carnegie Hall, praising Corbino "because he has brought to American art rare gifts of color and design, and because of the honesty, richness and variety of his work." Born in Vittoria, Sicily, on April 3, 1905, Corbino came to the United States at the age of eight with his parents. He grew up in New York City, where he was awarded an art scholarship to the Ethical Culture School and attended the Arts Students League. He received two Guggenheim Fellowships and was elected a member of the National Academy of Design. As early as 1931 Corbino's work was included in museum exhibitions with artists such as Degas and Matisse. His work was featured in three Venice Biennales and he won his first national award at the Art Institute of Chicago for a painting titled Earthquake. People identified with Corbino's heroic themes, which revealed the anxieties of America during the 1930s. The critic from Art News observed, "Only thirty-three years old, Corbino has already become one of the foremost figures in contemporary painting." These paintings of disasters such as wars and floods were Corbino's tribute to the perseverance of man against the unknown forces of the universe. Corbino was known for his love of horses, sometimes painting these powerful animals as mythic symbols from the Greek legends of his childhood. He painted the fantasy of the circus and the ballet, often from backstage where the performers were captured in a reflective moment. The critic of the Chicago American defined Corbino's impressive career for a retrospective exhibition in 1966. "He painted people of the world-people on the beach, in the sun, in the moonlight. But he graced them with spirit, life, and movement that transcend the everyday."

But stuff happens and if USPS or UPS has damaged the box and the contents-- either you or your representative must mention this to the delivery person, get a damage receipt from them at the moment of delivery (or have them write it on the receipt you sign and their copy) and save all the packing materials so an insurance claim can be pursued if the artwork is damaged.
