'Girl alone in winter storm lost with lantern' by Joseph Cornell, (1903 - 1972).

Joseph Cornell (1903–1972)

Cornell worked nights at the kitchen table, sorting and assembling materials for his boxes. It was not easy going. Some nights he felt too fatigued from his day job to concentrate on his art and would sit up reading instead, switching on the oven for warmth. In the mornings, his quarrelsome mother would scold him about the mess he’d left at the kitchen table; without a proper workroom, Cornell was forced to store his growing collection of magazine clippings and dime-store baubles out in the garage.

In 1940 Cornell finally mustered the courage to quit his job and pursue his art full-time—and even then his habits changed little. He still worked nights at the kitchen table, while his mother and brother slept upstairs. In the late morning he would head downtown for breakfast at his local Bickford’s restaurant, often satisfying his sweet tooth with a Danish or a slice of pie (and lovingly cataloging these indulgences in his diary).

Soap Bubble Set, Joseph Cornell, 1940, Art Institute of Chicago: American Art

Joseph Cornell’s box constructions present highly personal reflections on art, nature, history, and memory through the unexpected juxtaposition of found objects and printed material. Here he included glasses, pipes, and round disks to recollect the youthful activity of blowing soap bubbles. Their placement in front of a diagram of the Copernican planetary system, however, suggests a more universal significance. Cornell produced other Soap Bubble Set boxes, and he later recalled about them that “Shadow boxes become poetic theatres or settings wherein are metamorphosed the elements of a childhood pastime. The fragile shimmering globules become the shimmering but more enduring planets—a connotation of moon and tides.” Simeon B. Williams Fund Size: 34.3 × 48.3 × 7.6 cm (13 1/2 × 19 × 3 in.) Medium: Wood, glass, paper, metal, and shell

COLLAGE ON VIEW

Elemental Singularities

Richard Poulin at Brian Marki Fine Art Gallery in Palm Springs, California, USA through 25 February 2020. Since the 1970s, Poulin has been inspired by the work of modernists and avant-garde artists such as Kurt Schwitters, Hannah Höch, and Joseph Cornell. Richard has said that “these ‘visual essays’ express my life’s passions and pains, joys and losses, and the fundamental aspects of spirit, soul, and being.” MORE

*****************************

Kolaj Magazine, a full colour, print magazine, exists to show how the world of collage is rich, layered, and thick with complexity. By remixing history and culture, collage artists forge new thinking. To understand collage is to reshape one’s thinking of art history and redefine the canon of visual culture that informs the present.
