Description
This volume looks at the creative work of the great avant-gardist John Cage from an exciting interdisciplinary perspective, exploring his activities as a composer, performer, thinker and artist.
The essays in this collection grew out of a pivotal gathering during which a spectrum of participants including composers, music scholars and visual artists, literary critics, poets and filmmakers convened to examine Cage's extraordinary artistic legacy.
Beginning with David Bernstein's introductory essay on the reception of Cage's music, the volume addresses topics ranging from Cage's reluctance to discuss his homosexuality to his work as a performer and musician, and his forward-looking, provocative experimentation with electronic and other media.
Several of the essays draw upon previously unseen sketches and other source materials.
Also included are transcripts of lively panel discussions among some of Cage's former colleagues.
Taken together, this collection is a much-needed contribution to the study of one of the most significant American artists of the 20th century.
