CAGE CUNNINGHAM JOHNS: Dancers on a Plane
Library Shelf Location 18.CAGE
Publication Date 1989
Description John Cage, Merce Cunningham and Jasper Johns have created some of the most provocative and significant music, dance and visual art of our time. They have been friends throughout their adult lives, and their influence on one another's work and thought has been both subtle and profound. This extraordinary volume offers a revealing study of this work-enriching relationship. The book's many reproductions of John's paintings and drawings, a calligraphic manuscript by Cage and photographs of Cunningham and his dancers in rehearsal and performance are augmented by commentary by Susan Sontag. Together words and images give us new insight into the interaction of three artistic disciplines, the sharing of common themes and preoccupations, and the contribution each individual's art makes to the larger whole.
