John Cage■ John Cage (composer), Robert Rauchenburg (artist), Merce
Cunningham (choreographer).■ John Milton Cage Jr. was an American composer, music theorist, writer,
and artist■ He is best known for revolutionizing modern music through his
incorporation of unconventional instrumentation and the idea of environmental music dictated by chance.
■ Cage is famous not only for his radical works, like 4'33" (1952), but also for his innovative collaborations with artists like Merce Cunningham and Robert Rauschenberg.
■ These partnerships helped break down the divisions between the various realms of art production, such as music, performance, painting, and dance, allowing for new interdisciplinary work to be produced.

John Cage (composer), Jackson Pollock (artist)
■ Jackson Pollock and John Cage are legends in American history.
■ Pollock and Cage were aesthetic extremes of each other.■ Pollock sought to make paintings that were entirely an
expression of his manic inner ego, whereas Cage fought to remove himself completely from the decision-making process involved in art.
■ And yet, Pollock and Cage did have one thing in common. They shared a common adversary: hundreds of years of European history, theory, and dominance in the arts.
