Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Cornoyer began painting in Barbizon style and first exhibited in 1887. After returning from his studies in Paris, Cornoyer was heavily influenced by the American tonalists. In 1908, the Albright–Knox Art Gallery (formerly the Albright Gallery) hosted a show of his work. In 1909, he was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate Academician. He taught at Mechanics Institute of New York and in 1917, he moved to Massachusetts, where he continued to teach and paint.[1]
