About the author

Joseph Cornell was a visual artist and avant-garde experimental filmmaker most remembered for his techniques of assemblage, including shadow boxes, collage, and found-film montage. His works have been exhibited in major retrospectives at starting with the Pasadena Art Museum (now the Norton Simon Museum) in December 1966, and followed by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, MoMA, SFMoMA, and the Royal Academy of Arts in London. Collections remain at those in addition to the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Art Institute of Chicago, Whitney Museum of American Art, Tate Museum, Philadelphia Museum of Art, and others.
