"(...) Tapping into a rich and previously unseen archive of photographs, film footage, and unpublished writing by Cunningham, Noland counters understandings of Cunningham's influential embrace of the unintended to demonstrate that he in fact set limits on the role chance played in his dances. The book explores his relation not only to Cage, but also to Marcel Duchamp, Robert Rauschenberg, James Joyce, and Bill T. Jones. Ultimately, Noland shows that Cunningham approached movement as more that 'movement in itself', and that his work enacted archetypal human dramas."-- P.[4] de la couv.[-]
