Scope and Contents
The author has focused on analysis of works by Cornell that were gifts to ballerinas, actresses, poets and historic figures. Cesar Trasobares has created a "cedar box with a wire lid that opens like a gate to the nostalgic garden of Cornell's collage...on the cover." The artist also uses IRS tax rulings, airline schedules and assorted Cornell-like objects. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
