So! We saw the movie The Nice Guys. And there’s an old lady in it. She seemed familiar so I looked her up. Her name is Lois Smith. She made her film debut in East of Eden in -955. Boy has she seen some movie history. And theater history. And it turns out, art history.
The surrealist artist Joseph Cornell made her a box. She still had it. And in learning about that, I learned someone made a play about Joseph Cornell. But it doesn’t sound like it was successful.
But this one person on loved in the play writes beautifully about Joseph Cornell. I love the writer’s passion.
And when I was in Chicago, why didn’t I see more of his boxes.
