Joseph Cornell (December 24, 1903 – December 29, 1972) was an American artist and sculptor, one of the pioneers and most celebrated exponents of assemblage. Influenced by the Surrealists, he was also an avant-garde experimental filmmaker.

In this photo there is a wooden bird holding onto a wire with the beak, there is also a ping pong ball that might represent an egg, most of the materials in this photo is wood.
What I think about his art work is that I find it creative because of all of the random materials that he used and the fact that he created this piece with them is very artistic.
