The essays in \u003ci\u003eJoseph Cornell and Surrealism \u003c\/i\u003econsider connections between Cornell and the Surrealist group during the 1930s and 1940s, during Cornell's artistic development and the heyday of Surrealism in the United States. He shared with the Surrealists his basic conception of the visual image as the product of poetic juxtaposition. In his best-known works--the collages, small constructions of found objects, and classic shadow boxes--he took key Surrealist methods in new directions. The essays also examine Cornell's achievement in other formats, including his ground-breaking collage film and the open-ended and nonlinear archives of printed materials that he called \"explorations,\" as well as the art, literature, music, and dance that nourished his unconventional artistic output.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe essays in this volume were commissioned for the catalogue \u003ci\u003eJoseph Cornell et les surréalistes à New York\u003c\/i\u003e, published to accompany the exhibition of the same name that was co-organized by the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon and The Fralin Museum of Art at the University of Virginia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAside from the editors, the contributors are Stephen Bann, Emmanuel Guigon, Lynda Roscoe Hartigan, Jodi Hauptman, Howard Hussey, Ségolène Le Men, Camille Lévêque-Claudet, Patrick Mauriès, Anne Morra, and François-René Martin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Affron\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0983505977\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780983505976\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fralin Museum of Art, University of Virginia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.80w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2016","brand":"Matthew Affron","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46825752690943,"sku":"9780983505976","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_50df5889-f2f4-489c-af7a-8fa3a7a2076d.jpg?v=1746073526","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/joseph-cornell-and-surrealism-matthew-affron-9780983505976","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
