"You Sisi" Mythical Heishan Academy cultivates artists on the land

Heishan College is an experimental liberal arts school that exists in history. Although it only existed for 24 years (1933 to 1957), it had a significant impact on American art history. Heishan College was built in a countryside in North Carolina. It was established during the Great Depression and trained many talented artists in the post -Second World War that followed by the pushing power.

Picture: Heishan College, a utopian -like paradise. Although it only exists for 24 years, it has a significant impact on American art history. The New York Times reported that at the time, the weird inventor and designer R. BuckMinster Bucky Fuller was trying to build his first large -scale ground -meter dome. It was the summer of 1948, Fuller and Eleine Dkuin, John Cage, Merz Cantanan, Peter Grip, Bomont New Hall, Richard Lipod, etc. People work as faculty and staff together in school. He collected many rolled aluminum -made shutters and recruited students and faculty employees to help him build.

Figure: In 1948, Fuller and the students were building a supine dome. In a photo taken by Bosmont New Hall, Fuller and his students are measured on the panels laid on the grass. In another photo, Fuller stood there, holding a plan in his hand, next to the famous painter Eleine Dkuin and then the head of the Department of Art of Heishan Academy Joseph Alberts -the three of them They are all wearing casual summer clothes, and their faces show a contemplative expression.

Picture: "Erased de Kooning Drawing", at the end of 1953, practice shows that this material has neither sufficient strength nor enough tension to keep the dome structure upright. Later, this experiment was nicknamed "lying on the dome". But its collapse is irrelevant, because it symbolizes the fundamental significance of Heishan: a group of artists integrate art with life, learning, and entertainment, and accepts failure. As art historian Eva Díaz wrote, this is "a part of the educational risk of a dynamic process."

Picture: Teachers and students of Heishan College. Just like the ancient Athens, the Blums Berry Group in London, the Vienna of Mozart or Freud in the heyday of the 19th century, and the Massachusetts in the 19th century, Kuroshan College was a genius gathering place, although in the most impossible place : It is located at the foot of the Lanling Mountain in the Swananoa Valley, 15 miles east of Ashville, near the town named after school. From 1933 to 1957, there, a group of tutors -John Andrew Rice professor of rebellious arts, Shi Dorol, Professor of Physics, Frederik Georgia, poet Charles · Olson -provides students with art -core liberal arts education. In fact, the college's artistic summer course -and the impressive visiting teacher lineup of the teaching assistant -consolidate its mythical reputation. Many well -known figures in the history of Heishan's history include painters Jacob Lawrence, Robert Marusewell, Franz Klein, Lio Amo and Ben Shann, photographer Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind , Art critic Clett Greenberg, social critic Paul Gudman, literary critic Alfred Kasin, composer Stanfan Walp, architect Walter Groopi Upiki Si, poet Robert Crele, Robert Duncan, Hilda Mori (they are called Heishan poets with Olson), pottery artist Marguerite Wildenhain and Japanese ceramic artist Hamada Johisatsu.
