Mono Lake V by Joseph Corso

I decided to check out Joseph Corso’s art gallery,who is a classmate of mine, that was a part of the LBOpen Studio Tours. Joseph presented his works art at his own house, which I found very nice and well presented. He had some very beautiful paintings of places that could be found in the LA county. He also had a few prints in display and seeing his work presented in the gallery and his prints in class; it’s clear that he is a very talented artist. 


Joseph is a Southern California native that has spent most of his life being a landscape printer. He attended the Art department of Cal State Long Beach in where he majored in painting in 1980 and decided to further his knowledge in printmaking as well. After that he started making a career from painting and lithography. His private and public collections can be found through out the country. Joseph has won awards in the national juried shows and was active in the LA County Museum of Art’s rental program. 


The art piece that I found very interesting was “Mono Lake V”, which is a landscape print of a lake in front and the mounts out into the distance where the lake ends. I like this one a lot because of the realism that the print looks. I feel like if I was there at the place where Joseph drew the painting. I also like very much the season in which the painting is drawn which is seemed to be winter.
