The American artist Joseph Cornell (1903-72) subjected his own work and working processes to intense scrutiny, forming important ideas about the role of the artist and the creation of art. He developed a subtle and precise language: symbol, metaphoric and metonymic association, the development of the series, the multiple viewpoint, juxtaposition and cultural hegemony are all variously characteristic of his "new language".
