Description

John Cage's passionate and intimate letters to Merce Cunningham offer a unique glimpse into the early stages of their relationship. Spanning 1942-46, these 39 letters reveal a man falling deeply in love with his partner.

The collection begins with Cage's first letter to Cunningham, just days after they met at the Cornish School in Seattle. As their correspondence unfolds, Cage's emotions range from passion and romance to confusion and turmoil. The letters also contain snippets of poetry and song, providing a glimpse into Cage's creative process.

Complemented by photographs and personal objects from their shared life, this collection provides a fascinating insight into the life and work of two artistic giants. Laura Kuhn, director of the John Cage Trust, adds context and commentary to the letters, making this a valuable resource for anyone interested in the lives and works of Cage and Cunningham.
