Description

Joseph Cornell. Master of Dreams by Diane Waldman. Out of the fantasies that enriched a private, often reclusive life, Joseph Cornell created a 'poetic theater of memory.' His box constructions and collages feature such characters as a Medici princess, birds, ballerinas, and movie stars. Using the seemingly commonplace materials that he collected in five-and-dime stores and other shops in New York City - cordial glasses, mirrors, marbles, and maps among them - along with clippings from books and magazines, childhood games, and Victorian illustrations, Cornell beckons us into a world at once distantly magical and tantalizing, nostalgically 'home.' A VERY LARGE BOOK THAT WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FREIGHT.
