Joseph Cornell

Joseph Cornell was an American artist and sculptor, one of the pioneers and most celebrated exponents of assemblage. Influenced by the Surrealists, he was also an avant-garde experimental filmmaker. I have both a lot of admiration and a lot of pity for this man, he was an artist in the most true sense of the word, art was not a means of making money for him, it was a means of keeping sanity. I recommend everyone do further reading into this brilliant & inventive man.
