Joanne Corneau (22 November 1952 – 21 December 2016), better known by the pseudonym Corno, was a Canadian artist from the Saguenay region of Quebec. She achieved international recognition for her large-scale paintings of women's faces and bodies in a "post-pop" style. Corno was born in Chicoutimi, Canada, and enjoyed drawing and sketching from a young age. She moved to Montreal in the early 1970s and studied for a Bachelor's degree of Fine Arts at the Université du Québec à Montréal. Corno painted large-scale works of female faces and bodies; her style was considered "post-pop" and neo-expressionist, showing similarities to the work of Andy Warhol. She harmonised abstract with figurative and used bold textures, movement and colours. Corno stated that she was inspired by artists Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec and Julian Schnabel and also by the variety of art she experienced in daily life, such as food, music, photography, cinema, billboards and travel.
