Nicolas Carone (1917-) is an Italian-American Painter and Sculptor born in New York City and raised in Hoboken, New Jersey.
He began formal art studies at the age of eleven. He studied at the National Academy of Design under Leon Kroll, Art Students League, Hans Hofmann School of Fine Arts, and the Rome Academy of Fine Arts. In 1941 he won the Prix de Rome and in 1949 a Fulbright Fellowship. He was also part of the 9th Street Art Exhibition. Carone was a part of the Abstract Expressionist movement, which relied heavily on Surrealism, poetry and interpretations of Jungian psychology. He is noted as a good friend of the much-lauded American painter, Jackson Pollock who was also known to be part of the New York School of painting.
His work is in the collections of museums including the Whitney, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Hirshhorn, and the Baltimore Museum of Art.
Carone has taught at universities including Yale, Columbia, Brandeis, and Cornell, and at Cooper Union, School of Visual Arts, and Skowhegan School. He was a founding faculty member of the New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture, where he taught for 25 years.
