Περιγραφή για Leap Before You Look: Black Mountain College 1933–1957 Helen Molesworth Yale University Press

A dynamic new look at the legendary college that was a major incubator of the arts in midcentury America In 1933, John Rice founded Black Mountain College in North Carolina as an experiment in making artistic experience central to learning. Though it operated for only 24 years, this pioneering school played a significant role in fostering avant-garde art, music, dance, and poetry, and an astonishing number of important artists taught or studied there. Among the instructors were Josef and Anni Albers, John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Buckminster Fuller, Karen Karnes, M. C. Richards, and Willem de Kooning, and students included Ruth Asawa, Robert Rauschenberg, and Cy Twombly.  Leap Before You Look is a singular exploration of this legendary school and of the work of the artists who spent time there. Scholars from a variety of fields contribute original essays about diverse aspects of the College—spanning everything from its farm program to the influence of Bauhaus principles—and about the people and ideas that gave it such a lasting impact. In addition, catalogue entries highlight selected works, including writings, musical compositions, visual arts, and crafts. The book’s fresh approach and rich illustration program convey the atmosphere of creativity and experimentation that was unique to Black Mountain College, and that served as an inspiration to so many. This timely volume will be essential reading for anyone interested in the College and its enduring legacy.Published in association with the Institute of Contemporary Art, BostonExhibition Schedule:The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston (10/10/15–01/24/16)Hammer Museum, UCLA (02/21/16–05/14/16)Wexner Center for the Arts, Ohio State University (09/17/16–01/01/17) Σελίδες: 400, Έτος Έκδοσης: 1029, Διαστάσεις: 24.1x24.1cm
