Black Mountain was a very small college that lasted only a few years but it had a huge impact on NYC/left culture
I once read:
the first day of art class [taught by someone now famous ] we were told to sit and stare at the blank page and at the end of the hour we would draw one vertical line
the author goes on to say: and ever since, I have started every drawing and painting with that line
