Focusing on his evocative and profound references to children and
their stories, Children's Stories and 'Child-Time' in the Works of
Joseph Cornell and the Transatlantic Avant-Garde studies the
relationship between the artist's work on childhood and his search
for a transfigured concept of time. This study also situates
Cornell and his art in the broader context of the transatlantic
avant-garde of the 1930s and 40s. Analisa Leppanen-Guerra explores
the children's stories that Cornell perceived as fundamental in
order to unpack the dense network of associations in his
under-studied multimedia works. Moving away from the usual focus on
his box constructions, the author directs her attention to
Cornell's film and theater scenarios, 'explorations', 'dossiers',
and book-objects. One highlight of this study is a work that may
well be the first artist's book of its kind, and has only been
exhibited twice: Untitled (Journal d'Agriculture Pratique),
presented as Cornell's enigmatic tribute to Lewis Carroll's Alice
books.
