Corcos (1908-1973) is considered a leading modern American primitivist. She studied under Jan Matulka at the Art Students League, New York, before starting a career as an illustrator at Vanity Fair and for children's books. By the mid-1930s she was exhibiting in numerous museums, including the Whitney Biennial. Her works, painted in a semi-naïve style, were revered for their detail, brilliant colors and lively compositions.
