Assemblage by Joseph Cornell |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| American artist Joseph Cornell is best known for his small wooden boxes in which he assembles often incongruous objects. Suzy’s Sun (1954, North Carolina Museum of Art), shown here, is typical of his work, particularly in the feeling of nostalgia that the work evokes through the use of old, worn, or found objects, such as the seashell and the driftwood. | ||||||
