Quote of the Week: Cornell’s Song

The following is attributed to artist Joseph Cornell:

“the song of nature, the breezes, the fragrances of the grasses — like a great breathing, deep, harmonious, elemental, cosmic.”

It appears on one of the walls in a sizable exhibit of Cornell’s work currently on display at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The exhibit is titled Navigating the Imagination and runs through January 6, 2008. More info at sfmoma.org.
