About Jon Corbino

Nationality
American
Jon Corbino (1905–1964) was an Italian-born American painter whose career also encompassed sculpture, teaching, and public art. Born in Sicily, he emigrated to the United States and studied at the Art Students League of New York and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Documented works show a figurative practice spanning portraits, beach and bather scenes, and civic murals. Examples include oil paintings on masonite and The Pleasures of Bathing, a mural installed in 1939 through a WPA New Deal art project. Published collection information associates his work with institutions including the Museum of Modern Art, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Walker Art Center, Whitney Museum of American Art, Portland Art Museum, and Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Collectors may therefore encounter Corbino through easel paintings, works connected with American public-art programs, and pieces whose subjects range from individual sitters to animated scenes of communal leisure.

Common works and media
Documented Corbino works include figurative paintings, portraits, beach and bather scenes, and public murals. Oil on masonite appears in surviving museum and portrait examples. Public-art documentation also records compositions populated by bathers, boats, boardwalk activity, and spectators. These examples help classify an object for research, but they do not by themselves authenticate an unsigned or uncertain work.
Market and appraisal context
The supplied Appraisily record associates Jon Corbino with 270 auction entries, but that count is a discovery signal rather than evidence of a particular price level or trend. An appraisal should compare like with like: portrait paintings may belong to a different group of comparables than beach scenes, bather compositions, murals, or other figurative works. Medium and support also matter; documented examples include oil on masonite. Work date, dimensions, attribution, provenance, condition, and the relevance of individual comparable sales should be established from the object and its records before drawing a value conclusion. Because the source pack contains no detailed auction-house results, current market conclusions require lot-level research.
Auction categories and appraisal factors

Value drivers
- Work type and subject, with separate comparison of portraits, beach or bather scenes, murals, and other paintings
- Medium and support, including documented oil-on-masonite examples
- Work date and comparison with relevant public auction records
Appraisal caveats
- The supplied pack includes an Appraisily auction-record signal but no detailed lot descriptions, realized prices, or major auction-house biography, so it does not support price-level or market-trend conclusions.
- The documented works establish examples of Corbino's media and subjects but do not establish that every similarly described work is authentic or attributable to him.
