Cornell, 19651978

Very nice. A moving tribute.

Lawrence Jordan's nice tribute to his teacher, Joseph Cornell. It is tough to think that one person's life can be summed up in a 7 minute film, so this feels more like an introduction to an interesting artist than a complete picture. This is enough to start a search about an artist I might find interesting.

A good, but all too brief, introduction to a very talented collage artist whose works deserve greater exposure.

Beautiful. Excellent film.

The camera embodies the action of an image (jumping up & down, the arc of the rope). Personalized boxes. Footage of the elusive artist; in it's own way as mystifying as ROSE HOBART, something very ordinary (a man in his yard, a run-of-the-mill adventure flick) imbued with an aura of being beyond what it seems.

A lovely brief snapshot of an American artist who should be known by everyone.

This is a sensitive glimpse into Cornell's world by his assistant and a wonderful chance to see the artist at work. I liked the voice over by Jordan very much. Thank you!

"Joseph was not afraid of cinema, in fact he insisted on it. It was part of his belief system that they were moments, crystalized from the past. The influence of Proust, again."

Wonderful and much too brief glimpse at a great artist !

Odd....

joseph cornell has always been a favorite of mine. i learned of him, not thru required art history classes, but thru a painting instructor when i started to frame things and categorize several paintings within a painting. cornell was amazing.

Gorgeous footage of Cornell's life as shot through the eyes of assistant Lawrence Jordan.

A beautiful , heartfelt tribute to Joseph Cornell by Larry Jordan, himself a great and very personal artist.
