Published to celebrate the centenary of Joseph Cornell?s birth,
this book provides a fresh, multidimensional perspective on the pioneering American artist and communicates the surprise and delight of the actual boxes, with their toys, stuffed birds, maps and other paraphernalia of daily life.
Lavishly illustrated with over seventy-five of Cornell's boxes and collages, as well as images of the fascinating source material that the artist collected to create his exquisitely crafted worlds, the book explores the role of dualities in Cornell's processes, the major themes of his oeuvre, and the importance of his Christian Science faith.
The companion DVD-ROM 'The Magical Worlds of Joseph Cornell' delivers an encyclopaedic compendium of the artist?s works and source materials, the insights of numerous scholars and critics, access to Cornell?s experimental films and interactive opportunities that promote an utterly unprecedented investigation of his art. The DVD has been awarded the Gold Muse Award for Art 2004 by the American Association of Museums and was nominated for a BAFTA award in a new category of interactive DVD-ROMs.
