Joseph Cornell : Stargazing in the Cinema (Yale Publications in the History of Art)
Editorial Reviews
The New York Times Book Review, Suzanne Ramljak
...Hauptman's study hints at the artist's sublimated passions and helps us detect the faint scent of eroticism and morbidity surrounding his hermetically sealed boxes.
Washington Post Book World
Joseph Cornell's distinctive 'Box-constructions' are among the most magical achievements of modern American art. . . . Hauptmann . . . focuses in this volume on a small group of Cornell's works that reflect his fascination with movies-including his 'portrait homages' to actresses Hedy Lamarr, Lauren Bacall, Jennifer Jones, Greta Garbo, and Marilyn Monroe. This is a very attractive volume with excellent color photos.
