The first major work to examine Joseph Cornell's relationship to American modernism Joseph Cornell (1903–1972) is best known for his exquisite and alluring box constructions, in which he transformed found objects—such as celestial charts, glass ice cubes, and feathers—into enchanted worlds that blur the boundaries between fantasy and the commonplace. Situating Cornell within the broader artistic, cultural, and political debates of midcentury America, this innovative and interdisciplinary account reveals enchantment's relevance to the history of American modernism. In this beautifully illustrated book, Marci Kwon explores Cornell's attempts to convey enchantment—an ephemeral experience that exceeds rational explanation—in material form. Examining his box constructions, graphic design projects, and cinematic experiments, she shows how he turned to formal strategies drawn from movements like Transcendentalism and Romanticism to figure the immaterial. Kwon provides new perspectives on Cornell's artistic and graphic design career, bringing vividly to life a wide circle of acquaintances that included artists, poets, writers, and filmmakers such as Mina Loy, Lincoln Kirstein, Frank O’Hara, and Stan Brakhage. Cornell's participation in these varied milieus elucidates enchantment's centrality to midcentury conversations about art's potential for power and moral authority, and reveals how enchantment and modernity came to be understood as opposing forces. Leading contemporary artists such as Betye Saar and Carolee Schneemann turned to Cornell's enchantment as a resource for their own anti-racist, feminist projects. Spanning four decades of the artist's career, Enchantments sheds critical light on Cornell's engagement with many key episodes in American modernism, from Abstract Expressionism, 1930s "folk art," and the emergence of New York School poetry and experimental cinema to the transatlantic migration of Symbolism, Surrealism, and ballet.

Here for the first time is an account of how each of thirteen historical as well as present-day systems cope with indicating body movement, time, space (direction and level) and other basic movement aspects of paper. A one-to-one comparison is made of how the same simple patterns, such as walking, jumping, turning, etc. are notated in each system.

Excerpt from Dance Index Dancing, to be sure, did; not disappear from the scene, but it headed the list of pastimes that were frowned upon. The contradances and quadrilles (or cotillions as they were incorrectly called) were tolerated, and as time went on, a few brave or bold souls danced the gallopade (which one critic called the frantic hurley and the wicked waltz.

Excerpt from Dance Index, 1944, Vol. 3 From Kiev Tchelitchew went, indirectly, to Constantinople where, two years later, he designed six ballets for the company of Vic tor Zimine, a pupil of the dancer Mikhail Mordkin. As had been the case with The Geisha, the designs were simple for the bal lets which the troupe of half a dozen dancers presented were short and were changed each week. But in them Tchelitchew realised some of the theatrical'possibilities of cubism, to ward which his ideas had turned. The lines of the fairy tale costumes which he straight ened to heighten the fantasy suggested to him the larger possibilities in the same direction which he used in subsequent productions. He saw that in movement ballet costumes could become quite different from their stationary forms, and he began to include all the per mutations a costume might undergo in his original conception of it.
