Remembering Sterling Hayden on the anniversary of his death (May 23, 1986). He always brought the goods. A favorite who had the world’s weight on his fedora.

Cy Twombly at Black Mountain College, photo by Rauschenberg. (I originally posted this photograph and said it was taken in 1915. Oops. That's a mistake. It's been pointed out to me that neither of those artists had been born in 1915. Twombly was born in 1928, and Rauschenberg was born in 1925. So this photograph could not have been taken in 1915. Sorry about the error. I've removed the date from the photograph. But Google indicates that Twombly was at Black Mountain during portions of 1951 and 1952.)
