Uniting fifty neverbeforeseen watercolor images, this book explores the powerful influence of Zen on the renowned artist and composers work. This book brings together fifty neverbeforeseen watercolor images from the brush of renowned artist and composer John Cage. These pieces were initially considered a byproduct of a 1988 Mountain Lake Workshop, test sheets used to experiment with the flow of color from Cages brush as he prepared for larger Zen pieces, but authors Stephen Addiss and Ray Kass unite them here to explore the influence of Zen in Cages life. They juxtapose the compositions with the Ten OxHerding Pictures, a series of images used to communicate the essence of Zen for nearly one thousand years. They refer fragments of Cages poetry and his many statements about Zen practice, providing a fascinating lens through which the reader can view the Mountain Lake Workshop paintings. Cages images seem to become mysterious echoes of the centuriesold Ten OxHerding Pictures themselves, images about searching for the path to enlightenment.50 color, 12 blackandwhite illustrations
