Do you think that is Merce Cunningham to the far right in the Buckminster Fuller teaching shot? Wonderful pix, thank you so much.

"Unknown hottie" is Cy Twombly, who took Rauschenberg along on his VFMA-funded tour of Italy and North Africa in the summer of 1952.
ReplyDeleteThe "unknown hottie" might be Cy Twombly. There aren't many pictures of him as a student to compare to, but the time matches up, and the image just strikes me as really familliar. I wrote a paper on him recently so it might have been in one of the books I read.
ReplyDeletethese mountains are better because they inhabited them. incredible photographs.
ReplyDeleteLeo Amino was my sculpture teacher at the Cooper Union in the early 1970's. He was the best teacher I ever had, an amazing human being, a friend. Generous with his knowledge, he taught me patience and modesty, intransigence and hard work. A great man in an otherwise rather self-satisfied milieu!

Jean-Marie- That's amazing! I love Leo Amino's work. I've never personally owned a work, but have handled some beautiful pieces over the years. Thanks for sharing! -MB
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find these photographs?
ReplyDeleteI'd like to borrow (with credit) the image of Ray Johnson on the telephone... can you tell me who shot it?
Thanks, Matthew Rose / Paris, France
