The former OHIO associate professor of art and influential avant-garde artist taught in the School of Art + Design from 1958 to 2014, developing his own unique curriculum influenced by his personal style of art. Many of his classes, as alumni recall, functioned as performance pieces unto themselves, often surprising, shocking and always memorable to his students.
