“The American Surrealist sculptor who evoked enchanting, metaphysical worlds by magical combinations of found objects in small boxes . . . a wonderful introduction to the artist’s world.” ―Wall Street Journal Originally published to celebrate the centennial of Joseph Cornell’s birth, this book provides a multidimensional perspective on the pioneering modern artist. Lavishly illustrated with more than seventy-five boxes and collages, as well as images of the fascinating source material that the artist collected to create his exquisitely crafted worlds, it communicates to the reader the sense of surprise and delight that one experiences on viewing the actual boxes with their toys, stuffed birds, maps, clay pipes, marbles, shells, and other paraphernalia of daily life. The book’s essays bring together the expertise of Lynda Roscoe Hartigan, former director of the Joseph Cornell Study Center; the compelling commentary of Walter Hopps, art dealer, museum curator and director, and the artist’s personal friend; the wide-ranging scholarship of Richard Vine; and the sensitivity of Robert Lehrman, a leading Cornell collector whose firsthand experience lends this publication its distinctive intimacy. Among the topics explored are the role of dualities in the artistic process, the dominant themes of Cornell’s oeuvre, and the importance of his Christian Science faith. 231 illustrations, 205 in color

The Art of Making and Meaning presents the first comprehensive overview of Frank Lobdell's paintings, drawings, prints, and sketchbooks, and his long career as artist and teacher in the San Francisco Bay area. A seminal figure in the development of West Coast abstract expressionist painting, Lobdell early on recognized its potential as a lifelong arena for individual inquiry - a place where he could be entirely himself. He was also closely associated with the Bay Area figurative movement in the 1950s and 1960s. The figure as figure has remained on his canvases ever since, though in later work, his idiomatic forms no longer bear a readily apparent correspondence with the human body.
