I really appreciate poets who can see art, then express in words how they feel a connection to the artistic item. I can create art, but words stay in my subconscious left brain. (When I write, like here, I struggle, edit a lot !). Anyone else like that? 😩
I am LOVING this series!! I watch them over and over. I'm a modern art junkie and this series scratches that itch perfectly. Please, please, please do more. Jenn in Canada 🇨🇦 PS: MOMA looks mahvalous darlings ☺. Were I healthier and wealthier, I'd definitely make MOMA a stop on my bucket list. Thank you for this channel.
I was first exposed to Cornell's work as a teenager, many years ago. It was love-at-first-sight. Yes, about the everyday objects - makes it approachable in a way. But I don't tell myself stories like the gentleman did, not for any of them. What I've recently realized is that Joe's work is like listening to a language that sounds beautiful, but which I do not understand - but the inflections, cadence, etc. are recognizable. I feel his work, but I don't "get" it? Don't really have any words or stories. I really enjoy my experience of looking, "watching" even, seeing the relationships of different elements, being aware of the evocations. When I make my own "Cornell boxes" I'm aware of how clunky and ridiculous my own attempts are - but I keep at it. Also enhances my appreciation for his work. In my own hagiography Jos. Cornell is a god.

Its weird, but I absolutely LOVE the doll box.
when my niece, playing with her dolls said, 'this is good and this is bad', i never understood. now i know she is a great poet.
