Joseph cornell

Thinking inside the box: romantic, obsessive and shy, Cornell never moved out of his mother’s house, yet his strange, exquisite art brought him fame and friendships with Duchamp, Dalí and Warhol

Cornell Box. (by Josef Cornell, found at Rosanna Jefferey's Art)

Joseph Cornell - 10 years ago I visited the Art Institute of Chicago and was immediately drawn to whatever he was up to in his assemblages. A major influence on me.

Joseph Cornell (December 24, 1903 – December 29, 1972) was an American artist and sculptor, one of the pioneers and most celebrated exponents of assemblage. Influenced by the Surrealists, he was also an avant-garde experimental filmmaker.

This took me an age to create digitally - or so I thought until my niece who is an assemblage artist told me that, starting with a vintage apothecary's cabinet, she estimates it will take her at least a year to fill with hand made metal and fabric items. I can't compete with that!! The shadow boxes and shadows are by Maya at Scrapbookgraphics. Elements are mostly from Lorie Davidson also of SBG and the old gramophone is from Finecrafted Designs.

An homage to Joseph Cornell work titled; "A Parrot for Juan Gris" (1953). Which itself is an homage to Jaun Gris's artwork "The Man at the Café" (1914). Building upon the 2 other works I decided to bring a half man / half robot into the fold hinting that the next homage will be done by A.I.

I never ever tire of seeing the wonderful art that my students (adults, this time) produce when making Joseph Cornell-inspired assemblages. 🐦 📦.

"Medici Princess," c.1948 by Joseph Cornell (1903-1972)

Joseph Cornell never went to art school, but led a quiet life at the family home in New York State. In 1931, he saw an exhibition of Max Ernst's collages and by the mid-1930s Cornell was making constructions in wooden boxes, similar to the 'object-sculptures' made by the Surrealists. Cornell was a passionate collector and his work contains constant references to the past in the form of toys, and old scrap-book images, conjuring up an enigmatic vision of childhood.
