Bringing Art to You, For No Reason At All #2

"Medici Princess" by Joseph Cornell.

Cornell is one of my favorite artists. He lived in Queens, NY in the 20th century and made... well, boxes. There was a large French theme going through his work, although I believe he never went there. When you think of 20th century art, you think of things as uncontained. Dada, if you will, or the surrealists or the showy frankness and gaud of Pop Art. This is contained uncontainment. Modern art in a box. Lovely.
