Birds of a feather: Joseph Cornell's homage to Juan Gris

Birds Of A Feather: Joseph Cornell's Homage To Juan Gris

Auteur(s) : Collectif

Exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 23 January - 15 April 2018

Joseph Cornell (1903-1972) first viewed Cubist painter Juan Gris's The Man at the Café in October 1953. This visual encounter prompted Cornell to create more than a dozen hand-constructed shadow boxes as homages to Gris, each featuring a variation on a motif that echoes formal elements in Gris's painting.
This exhibition catalogue explores Cornell's deep fascination with Gris, uncovering within Cornell's work multiple allusions to Gris's crucial influence and investigating cross-currents such as the artists' shared interests in French culture and the ballet.
