(2) K-3 Joseph Cornell was a unique twentieth-century artist best known for his work in assemblage. Winter emphasizes the whimsy of Cornell's tiny enclosed worlds while quietly working in biographical details. Digital illustrations resembling cut paper jibe with the subject matter, as images are combined and assembled (often within neat boxes) on clean pages to enlarge ideas in the spare prose. Bib.
