Fannie Hillsmith

Fannie Hillsmith was personally picked out by Josef Albers to replace him as a 1945 summer teacher at Black Mountain College, where she taught alongside Lyonel Feininger and Ossip Zadkine and was succeeded by Robert Motherwell. Inspired principally by Klee and Cubism, she exhibited frequently and successfully with the American Abstract Artists as one of its most notable female members.
