Description

John Cage's journey to inner peace was one of transformation. He sought silence in Zen Buddhism, a spiritual path that changed both his music and his view of the universe. Through his awakening, Cage originated exciting experiments that set him at the epicenter of a new avant-garde forming in the 1950s. His influence extended beyond the art world, shaping the work of notable artists such as Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, Yoko Ono, Allan Kaprow, Morton Feldman, and Leo Castelli. This biography weaves together a rich tapestry of cultural history to illuminate Cage's struggle to accept himself and his relationship with choreographer Merce Cunningham.
