Jospeh Cornell had no formal training in art
and his most characteristic works
are his highly distinctive `boxes'. These are simple
boxes, usually glass-fronted, in which he arranged surprising
collections of photographs or
Victorian bric-a-brac.

Cornell was fascinated not by refuse, garbage, and the discarded, but by fragments of once beautiful and precious objects, relying on the Surrealist technique of irrational juxtaposition and on the evocation of nostalgia for his appeal.
He also painted and made Surrealist films.

The Hotel Eden c. 1945, construction, 15 1/8 x
15 3/4 x 4 3/4 inches
He lived in a small house on Utopia
Parkway in Flushing, a suburb of New York City.
He shared his house with his
mother, his brother…and
hundreds of file boxes and files full of fascinating stuff that inspired his
artwork.

untitled -Medici Princess-,
mixed media, c1948.
He liked living near New York, and he loved
exploring its streets and neighborhoods. Old books,
records, photographs, movie films, theater programs—--the shops he visited were
full of these things. He collected whatever struck
his fancy, no matter how old or ordinary it might look to
someone else.

Habitat Group for a Shooting Gallery,
mixed media, 1943.
Joseph Cornell was very shy and often sad, but he said that his boxes gave him "a world of complete happiness."
An ideal world is sometimes called a
utopia. Isn't it odd that Cornell make his "happy
world" in a cluttered basement studio on
Utopia Parkway?
