Opis

As John Cage once recalled, there were four musicians in the early 1950s who, because of their deep interest in art, associated closely with the New York School of painters: Edgard Varese, Stefan Wolpe, Morton Feldman, and Cage himself. This book explores the interaction and influences of the visual arts on these four seminal composers.

Recenzje

"A welcome addition to the scattered and contradictory information previously published about the New York School, this volume allows the reader to hear directly from many of the musicians and artists who came together in New York during the first half of the 20th century . . . Highly recommended." -- R.L. Wick, University of Colorado at Denver, Choice
