Artist: A.R. Ammons (American, 1926-2001)
American poet and artist Archie Randolph Ammons was born in Whiteville, North Carolina. He studied Literature at the University of California at Berkeley and went on to teach at Cornell University. He painted continuously, proving to be as coercive with paint as he was with words. Ammons’ paintings have been exhibited at the Hanes Gallery of Wake Forest University, Reynolda House in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, East Carolina University, and galleries in Ithaca, New York.
