Paperback. Zustand: Gut. 223 p.: Ill. Lediglich der Einband ist leicht berieben, sonst ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar / Only the cover is slightly rubbed, otherwise a good and clean copy. - Joseph Cornell's boxes and collages are among the most beguiling works of art made this century. Old toys, photos, broken dolls, magazine illustrations, bits of electrical wiring - anything in fact more usually left to moulder in lumber rooms or junk shops - were gathered up and hoarded by him as the elemental materials he needed for his constructions. The finished boxes are visually entrancing, but the intensely personal webs of reverie and association - many related to childhood - that determined their content make them at once both oddly familiar and ineluctably strange. Lindsay Blair has combed through the extraordinary mass of dossiers that Cornell compiled to serve as his own crucial - and intensely private - archive, supplementing her discoveries with insights gleaned in the course of interviews with more than fifty people who knew Cornell well, including Susan Sontag and Robert Motherwell. She gives us the most detailed picture yet of an artist who hid so much of his life from the world. / Contents Acknowledgements Chronology Introduction 1 The Self Observed 2 Origins of Selfhood 3 The Self in Others 4 The Cosmological Search Conclusion References Select Bibliography List of Illustrations.
