Description
Book Synopsis"This book uncovers a largely overlooked strand of American modernism in Cornell's work that engaged with current issues through the metaphysical aspects of vernacular objects and experiences"--
Trade Review"Kwon’s handsomely illustrated book takes a deep dive into the culture that influenced Cornell, and situates him within the art and politics—and politics of art—of his time. . . .[A] beautifully produced book." * Library Journal *
"In her book
Enchantments . . .[Marci Kwon] gives what amounts to a hidden history of modernism in this country, placing Cornell in context and revealing his connections to his contemporaries and his influence on later generations of artists. She also explores the concept of enchantment and mounts a passionate defense of it."
---John Dorfman, Art & Antiques"A superb achievement. . . . [and] the best treatment of the artist’s career, milieu, and work to date."
---Massimo Introvigne, Novo Religio
