Mixed Media Collage - Signed on reverse - Artist Estate Inventory #UC 17.1D // Untitled (2C-38E) by Joseph Cornell, created in 1969, is a mixed media collage that exemplifies the artist's fascination with mysticism, nature, and geometry. The composition features a central square panel with a carefully placed image of a small bird, juxtaposed against a rich green, textured background. Surrounding this square is a series of geometric forms and lines, including a red, almost architectural shape at the top and faint circular patterns at the bottom, adding a sense of order and structure to the piece. Cornell’s use of collage and mixed media, including found imagery, invites the viewer into a meditative and contemplative space. The work is characteristic of Cornell’s enigmatic and dreamlike visual language, blending the natural world with abstract forms. Signed on the reverse, this piece reflects Cornell’s unique ability to create worlds of wonder and introspection through a delicate interplay of imagery and abstraction.

What is Found Object?
A found object is a term used to describe a man-made or natural object, or a fragment of one, that an artist discovers or purchases and keeps for inspiration or as a work of art. The artist may also modify the object or incorporate it into a collage or assemblage, transforming it into a new piece of art.
