Joseph Cornell

Joseph Cornell lived from 1903 to 1979. He was an interesting character from a prominent New York family of Dutch descent. His work consists of very impressive assemblage sculptures and has the same tendency as Kurt Schwitters to create poetry from ordinary objects.

He was very influenced by the surrealists and his work, in turn, supplied inspiration for the pop art movement.

He was wary of strangers and became somewhat reclusive. However, his really beautiful and though-provoking.
