Mr. Cornell's dream boxes

de Jeanette Winter

Joseph Cornell loved to draw and paint and collect things. With these drawings and paintings and collected treasures, he made marvelous shadowboxes wonderlands covered in glass. And who did he most like to share them with? Children, of course. For they noticed all the details and took in all the magic Mr. Cornell had created. Joseph Cornell made marvelous shadow boxes, wonderlands covered in glass that he loved to share with children, with things he found when he roamed the city.
