I just discovered his work, and the very few sources that I looked at so far described him as such - that he had great difficulty forging and maintaining relationships, and was self described as intensely lonley and socially isolated- but I am certainly no authority after a few webpages! :) I will look at the book you mentioned - thanks for the reference - always willing to learn more... - K.

He made frequent trips to the city: to art galleries, to the cinema, to the ballet, and to shop for source material. He spent a lot of time at home because his mother and especially his brother needed him to be at home. Now that you've discovered him, I recommend that you dig deeper. "Utopia Parkway" is a good place to start. Enjoy! http://www.amazon.com/Utopia-Parkway-Life-Joseph-Cornell/dp/0878466843/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1213374852&sr=8-2 JC was not a social recluse, complete or otherwise.
