Ronald Bennett

Ron Bennett (American, 1941–2017) was an artist primarily known for his sculpture and as a former faculty member at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). While at CMU, he was an assistant professor who taught the Introduction to Foundry class, focusing on casting techniques. An avid pilot, Bennett learned to fly planes, which directly inspired his artwork by allowing him to record the shapes and forms of the land through aerial photography. His work, including the outdoor sculpture "Cloud Window," remains on the CMU campus.
