Isabella Corwin

American, B.1933

Isabella Corwin, a graduate of Cooper Union, was an Associate Professor in the Surface Design Department at the Fashion Institute of Technology for many years. In 2000 she and her husband, Arthur retired to Maine where she has continued to create artwork in a wide variety of media including enamel, batik and oil.

Isabella describes her work as “experimentation, risk taking, surprises, failures, pushing the medium to do magic.”

Her works are finfluenced by Geometric abstraction which is a form of abstract art based on the use of geometric forms sometimes, though not always, placed in non-illusionistic space and combined into non-objective (non-representational) compositions.
