He lived and worked in Connecticut. Marinko studied at the Waterbury Art School and the Yale School of Fine Arts. His works were exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, the Corcoran Gallery and the Carnegie Museum, along with other prestigious institutions. He showed at the New York World’s Fair and the Golden Gate International Exposition in 1939. Marinko’s paintings are in the permanent collections of over a dozen museums, including the Wadsworth Atheneum and the Yale University Art Gallery. A solo show of his surrealist works was held in 1989 at The John Slade Ely House Center for Contemporary Art in New Haven, Connecticut. Whether working in a regionalist or surrealist style, Marinko’s works from the 1930s through the 1950s are characterized by precise drafting, tight composition and a bright, clear palette. Marinko is extensively listed in Who Was Who in American Art and all other standard references.
