Untitled is a 1956 glass by Joseph Cornell, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image is a collage of cut-out figures and bright birds in a wild, tangled forest. A naked man stands in the center, holding a small bird in one hand and reaching up with the other. Around him, flowers, plants, and birds in vivid colors fill the scene, while a small, shadowy figure crouches near the bottom. The artist used real printed images—like old book pages or postcards—to build this world. The mix of black-and-white and color creates a dreamy, layered look. Look up Joseph Cornell to see more of his collages.
