In 1950, Albers went to Yale University and became the head of its newly formed Department of Design where he taught until he retired from teaching in 1958.
“Art is a province in which one finds all the problems of life reflected,” Albers wrote in the Black Mountain College Bulletin in 1934. The school sought to merge art and life, study and play. There, he taught students who would eventually make a name for themselves, including Ruth Asawa, Robert Rauschenberg, and Cy Twombly. Albers-despite speaking no English-became head of a new experimental art school at Black Mountain College in rural North Carolina. They had help from Philip Johnson, who was then a curator at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
