In the Realms of the Unreal

A retrospective of work by one of my favorite artists, Joseph Cornell, is being shown at SFMOMA through this Sunday, January 6. Below are examples of his elaborate "box constructions" for which he is best known, though he also made experimental short films and beautifully intricate collages (represented by the first pic below), which at a glance appear to be paintings or drawings, but upon closer inspection are, in fact, many separate bits of carefully and delicately placed images.
