Abstract Art Philosophy
A Seminal 20th Century (And Beyond) Text (from Ahadada Books)
Very Interesting!!
Essential There's a common argument that his ideas (and this book) are overrated.I find this difficult to digest, especially when one considers the enormous impact Cage's writings and compositions have had on countless composers (basically anyone composing after 1950 has most likely taken a thing or two from the ideas in this book). Sometimes he can be a little tough to follow in the book, as properly constructed sentences are not high up on Cage's list of priorities.However, this book has so much to offer that it is worth wading through the occasional slow spot. So give it a whirl.Even if you don't like Cage's music, reading this book will give you insights into what he did that may change your mind or at least instill a newfound respect.At its best, this is inspiration of the highest sort.
Quintessential Cage It's just a remarkable text. You have to get it. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description John Cage advocated paying attention to the world around us, and “to the life that we are so excellently living.” He is mainly known as a composer who affected the course of music in our time, but he also lectured, wrote commentary and poetry, and made prints, watercolors, and drawings. He died in 1992, but his work continues to affect people conscious of shaping their own lives. Cage worked at Crown Point Press, publisher of fine art prints, every year from 1978 until his death. During that period he produced 27 groups of prints, mostly etchings, totalling 667 individually composed works of art. Kathan Brown worked with Cage on these prints that make up the largest and most sustained aspect of his visual art. In this book, she speaks from her own experience about how he worked. The many illustrations make it easy to see what she is talking about, and she often uses Cage's own words to describe particular works or reflect upon the nature of his art. Customer Reviews (1)

Editorial Review Product Description John Cage: Composed in America is the first book-length work to address the "other" John Cage, a revisionist treatment of the way Cage himself has composed and been "composed" in America.Cage, as these original essays testify, is a contradictory figure. A disciple of Duchamp and Schoenberg, Satie and Joyce, he created compositions that undercut some of these artists' central principles and then attributed his own compositional theories to their "tradition."An American in the Emerson-Thoreau mold, he paradoxically won his biggest audience in Europe.A freewheeling, Californian artist, Cage was committed to a severe work ethic and a firm discipline, especially the discipline of Zen Buddhism. Following the text of Cage's lecture-poem "Overpopulation and Art," delivered at Stanford shortly before his death and published here for the first time, ten critics respond to the challenge of the complexity and contradiction exhibited in his varied work.In keeping with Cage's own interdisciplinarity, the critics approach that work from a variety of disciplines: philosophy (Daniel Herwitz, Gerald L. Bruns), biography and cultural history (Thomas S. Hines), game and chaos theory (N. Katherine Hayles), music culture (Jann Pasler), opera history (Herbert Lindenberger), literary and art criticism (Marjorie Perloff), cultural poetics (Gordana P. Crnkovic, Charles Junkerman), and poetic practice (Joan Retallack).But such labels are themselves confining: each of the essays sets up boundaries only to cross them at key points.The book thus represents, to use Cage's own phrase, a much needed "beginning with ideas."
