20th Century American Art from Rauschenberg to Asawa: Black Mountain College

Register for this Spring 2024 course on the new NYU SPS Academy of Lifelong Learning website .
Learn about 20th Century American art through an in-depth exploration of an important artistic movement that began in 1933 in North Carolina and was fueled by the exodus of prominent artists from Europe. Many of the faculty and students at the experimental Black Mountain College were or would go on to become highly influential in the arts, including Josef and Anni Albers, Charles Olson, Ruth Asawa, Walter Gropius, Ray Johnson, Robert Motherwell, Dorothea Rockburne, Cy Twombly, Robert Rauschenberg, Susan Weil, Merce Cunningham, John Cage, Buckminster Fuller, Franz Kline, and the de Koonings. Although Black Mountain College closed after 25 years, its legacy continues to be relevant. This course will examine Black Mountain College’s unique artistic community and its impact on the work and development of famous visual, performing, and literary artists.  Spring 2024 tuition is $649.
