description: Best-known for evocative box-constructions in which he assembled small objects and ephemera, American surrealist Joseph Cornell was also a devoted fan of the cinema. This book examines for the first time Cornell`s "portrait-homages," created to honor his favorite female movie stars-Hedy Lamarr, Lauren Bacall, Greta Garbo, Jennifer Jones, and others.
