This Wonderful 8"x10" Oil on Board titled, "Springtime" by Charles Able Corwin was produced and displayed as part of the Salmagundi Art Club. The label for the Club is still affixed to the back, although it is missing a portion of the upper left. His specialty was museum murals, and in the late 19th century and early 20th, he was also an instructor at the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1903, he became a habitat preparatory at the Field Museum, completing about 80 of the museum habitat groups of mammals, birds, and prehistoric people and animals. One of his projects was a series of large mural paintings of trees and plants, many of exotic species, as they appeared in their natural conditions. He belonged to the Chicago Society of Artists, the Salmagundi Club and the Bronx Artist Guild. Corbin's work was exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago (1900) where he won a prize, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art between 1901 and 1906, the Chicago Society of Artists, the Boston Art Club (1906-07), the California Artists, Golden Gate Memorial Museum (1916), the San Francisco Art Association, and the California Palace of the Legion of Honor (1916). Corwin was also part of the staff with E. Pierpont that painted the Cyclorama of Custer's Last Fight for the Boston Cyclorama Company in 1888. He died at age 81 in January, 1938.
