This is a catalogue for an exhibition held September 5, 2014-January 10, 2015 at Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center, with essays by exhibition curator Brian E. Butler focusing on the painting of Dan Rice from the 1950s and 1960s, and on his associations and collaborations with the poets of that time. Black Mountain College during the 1950s was a center of intense literary activity under the influence of Charles Olson, Robert Creeley, and to a lesser extent Robert Duncan. Rice was in the thick of it, busy designing, painting, building and offering his intelligent leadership to the frequent campus conflicts.
