Untitled is a 1972 ink by Joseph Cornell, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print looks like a collage. It has a blue background with a woman’s face in the center. The edges are torn and brown, like old paper. Small black-and-white photos peek out from the sides. The words “L’Abeille Hotel du Nord” sit at the top. The torn edges and mixed photos give it a rough, layered feel. The artist used stencils and varnish to build up the image. Look up lithography next to see how it works.
Joseph Cornell (December 24, 1903 – December 29, 1972) was an American visual artist and filmmaker, one of the pioneers and most celebrated exponents of assemblage.
