24.12.1903 Born in Nyack, NY (US)
THE RECLUSE
Joseph Cornell was born in a suburb of New York City and educated at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts. He lived a hermetic existence in a small one-family house on Utopia Parkway in Flushing, Queens and for most of his life shared this home, which was also his studio, with his mother and his disabled brother Robert. Self-taught as an artist and filmmaker, Cornell began to exhibit his collages and objects in New York in 1932 at the Julien Levy Gallery.
AMERICAN SURREALIST
Cornell was inspired by the Surrealist Movement and in turn was admired and visited by many of the leading European Surrealist artists. Cornell was particularly inspired by Max Ernst´s juxtapositions of incongruous images. André Breton included Cornell in Surrealist exhibitions although Cornell never embraced the darker or erotic aspects of the movement, maintaining an innocent delight in manifestations of ordinary objects and popular culture that predated Pop Art by two decades.
BOXES
Cornell made small wooden boxes that are simple, glass-fronted, presentations in which surprising collections of commonplace and exotic things are placed like performers in a theatrical stage. The boxes combine the formal austerity of Constructivist sculpture with the fantasy and irrationality of Surrealism. His work is evocative and poetic, provoking nostalgia for an imagined past. Cornell´s materials included faded photographs and images of often obscure ballerinas and movie stars, astronomical maps, emblems of voyages, birds and objects such as marbles, corks, and aperitif glasses, and small colored balls. Cornell collected his materials on journeys into Manhattan where he frequented junk stores, flea markets, and souvenir shops on 42nd Street
