A few of the creative minds at
Black Mountain College in North Carolina, an incubator for the American avant garde, founded in 1933 until 1957- included students such as Cy Twombly, Robert Rauschenberg, and San Francisco artist / sculptor,
Ruth Asawa--and some instructors included painter, Robert Motherwell, architect, Buckminster Fuller, composer, John Cage, Painter Josef Albers, and dancer / choreographer, Merce Cunningham--What a line up! A student commented..."a crazy, magical place...so that one woke up in the morning excited and a little nervous, as though a thunderstorm were sweeping in." --via
Artist and Studio and
Mondoblogo--"The Men of Black Mountain College"
