Found among the literary broadside collection in Archives and Special Collections are works that represent unique, unusual and innovative collaborations between poets and artists.\u00a0\u00a0Poetry\u00a0broadsides produced between the 1950s and early 1970s\u00a0offer some of the most diverse examples of poem and picture combinations.\u00a0 Visual artists, printmakers, typesetters, and graphic artists emerging from American schools and cities experimented with forms and techniques\u00a0influenced by their association with other artists, writers, and performers.<\/p>\n

Black Mountain College in the 1950s is often described by those that attended and taught there as a laboratory for artistic collaboration.\u00a0 The print shop at the small college in the foothills of North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains was a space where experimentation and collaboration were encouraged, producing small-run editions of poetry and poetry broadsides alongside the works of print-makers and visual artists.\u00a0 Joel Oppenheimer partnered with the painter Robert Rauschenberg, both students at the time, and the poet and emerging small-press publisher Jonathan Williams, to create ‘The Dancer’.<\/p>\n
